Managing fatigue
As part of our commitment to the safety of our people, our customers and those we share the roads with, McColl’s is constantly working to monitor and manage driver fatigue.
Industry studies show driving while tired is a major cause of fatal crashes and is a contributing factor in up to 60 per cent of all heavy vehicle crashes.
In addition to ensuring we comply with all regulations around rostering and driving hours, McColl’s works hard to ensure our drivers understand the causes of fatigue and what they can do to prevent it.
Our drivers are encouraged to get plenty of sleep, take regular breaks and look after their health by eating well and exercising. Our in cabin dashmate device also helps our drivers proactively manage their hours.
