abstract="This pilot project was a result of combining the resources of Police and the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) in gathering current data, then formally notifying the Company Manager/Director of an employees driving offence while using a company vehicle, linking this to the employers responsibility under the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 and the &quot;duty of care&quot; provisions. The process involves filtering for repeat offenders and using Injury Prevention Consultant visiting risk industries to assist them with driver fatigue programs. The desired outcomes have included 1. identification/reduction in driver fatigue amongst commercial drivers; 2. improvement of awareness of fatigue as a crash factor; 3. encouragement of owners/operators/company executives to ensure meetings, timetables and other work have significant travel components and appropriate rest periods.<p />",
