Common use of Fatigue Management Clause in Contracts

Fatigue Management. a) The Employer acknowledges that a common feature of an employee’s duties is significant travelling time, in conjunction with labour intensive work. As a result, fatigue is a potential hazard that needs to be carefully monitored and managed by the Employer to ensure that employees do not place themselves at an unacceptable level of risk. b) Where, considering the time between the Employee’s depot and/or home and the worksite and the required daily working hours and it is unreasonable for an employee to travel home each night, the Employer shall allow the Employee to choose to remain away from home, staying near the relevant work site rather than drive back to their home or work depot. In such an instance, the employee will be paid the relevant allowances related to travel away from home contained in this Agreement.
