Managing Fatigue. It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to manage fatigue for occupational health and safety reasons. The contractor should aim to drive no more than 12 hours per day in total. The Contractor should not accept jobs early in the morning after completing late jobs the night before or the reverse. As you are an independent contractor and have the ability to cover work outside of COD we have no way to monitor or manage your capacity and hours worked. It is entirely your responsibility to manage your working hours to ensure safety and wellbeing for yourself and any passengers you transport. This is a fundamental requirement of COD and any driver who is found out to be pushing the safety boundaries will be immediately terminated. COD will offer the Contractor bookings at a set fee via our proprietary COD Driver APP. The advertised fee will be the full fee payable to the Contractor on completion of the job indicated. The Contractor may be entitled to additional charges for items such as waiting times, tolls and other extras. Payment of these additional charges is subject entirely on the Contractor following the procedure for adding these extras in the COD Driver APP as outlined in this agreement under the Closing Jobs section. The Contractor has 12 hours from the commencement time of every booking to close a job off with extras in the COD Driver APP. If a Contractor fails to add the extras within this timeframe then the Contractor agrees that he/she forfeits the right to any such additional charges after that fact. There will be strictly no variances to this Term under any circumstances. The Contractor agrees to accept and fulfill bookings for vision impaired passengers who require the companionship of a guide dog. It is a requirement of law that these passengers are able to access a wide range of transport options and COD fully embraces supporting and assisting members of this community in every way possible. We have a long alliance with Vision Australia and a deep respect for members of this community. Where possible the contractor will be given special instructions in the booking details indicating that a guide dog will accompany a passenger so that he/she may place a blanket or other protective cover on the seat for the guide dog. The contractor also agrees to provide respectful assistance to passengers of impaired vision or other disability affecting mobility. COD offers customers the following courtesy waiting times:
Managing Fatigue in recognition that tired nurses are a risk to safe patient care the parties have agreed to develop and implement a Leave Management policy which will seek to ensure that all nurses are able to take their annual leave entitlement at appropriate intervals throughout the year by mutual agreement and that there is a proper distribution of leave. Further, any requirement for a nurse to work a ‘double shift’ must be treated as a serious clinical incident and recorded in Pro-‐Act.
Managing Fatigue. The Employer considers fatigue to be a serious health and safety hazard and will manage fatigue matters in accordance with the Cement Australia Fatigue Management Procedure.
