Alternative fatigue management scheme

Published: 07 2010

An alternative fatigue management scheme (AFMS) is a risk management scheme that, once approved by the NZ Transport Agency, allows commercial operators greater flexibility in their operations.

In an AFMS each operator develops systems and processes that manage work and rest time limits for their drivers whilst ensuring that fatigue is proactively managed.

The following documents provide detailed information about both AFMS1 and AFMS2 schemes, including relevant application forms.
