WorkSafe WA fatigue management system for transport compliance
A simple and accurate driving logbook app that replaces paperwork, reduces fatigue risks and keeps drivers and operators compliant. Ideal for owner drivers and transport teams who want real time visibility and smoother daily operations.
WorkSafe WA fatigue management refers to fatigue risk management requirements under Western Australian workplace health and safety laws administered by WorkSafe WA, which apply alongside NHVR fatigue management requirements for transport operations, addressing fatigue risks across all work activities including non-driving duties.
While NHVR fatigue management focuses specifically on driving and work hour limits for heavy vehicle operations, WorkSafe WA fatigue management addresses broader workplace fatigue risks including shift work, extended hours, workload, and other factors that may cause tiredness and impair safety across all industries.
Transport operators in WA must comply with both NHVR and WorkSafe fatigue requirements. We provide tools and systems to help Western Australian transport operators manage fatigue compliance under both NHVR and WorkSafe frameworks.
Why Drivers Choose the Logmaster Electronic Work Diary
Drivers choose Logmaster because it makes every part of the logging process easier. It is built to support daily routines, reduce fatigue risks and provide a more accurate and predictable way to record hours.
Accurate minute by minute logging
Paper logbooks record time in 15-minute blocks while EWDs log time in 1-minute intervals. This allows drivers to use their hours efficiently and gives a clear and honest record of each shift.
Less paperwork and faster daily routines
The app replaces handwriting with guided screens that are quick to complete. Drivers do not need to rewrite or correct entries, which keeps the process simple and consistent.
Helps prevent fatigue breaches
The app provides timely rest reminders to help drivers stay within regulated limits. By reducing the risk of fatigue-related breaches, it helps prevent costly fines, loss of licence points, or licence suspension.
Works reliably with or without mobile signal
When travelling through regional or remote areas, the app continues to work as normal and stores data securely. Once a connection is restored, everything syncs automatically so drivers can keep working without interruption.
Trusted by drivers across Australia
Many professional drivers, owner operators and contractors prefer Logmaster because it offers a clear and dependable alternative to paper logbooks. It reflects the needs of people who spend long hours on the road and want a practical tool that supports them.
Benefits for Transport Operators and Fleet Managers
Transport operators need clarity, reliability and efficiency in their compliance processes. Logmaster provides the visibility and structure required to manage drivers, plan ahead and keep operations running smoothly.
Live visibility across every driver
Operators can see the current status of each driver along with upcoming limits and recent activity. This supports safer scheduling and early intervention when needed.
Simplified compliance and record keeping
All logs, checks and declarations are kept in one secure digital system. This removes the need for collecting paper books, filing documents and searching through physical records.
Reduced risk across the operation
The structured format of digital logs and the built in alerts help reduce the risk of breaches. Issues become easier to identify and manage before they escalate.
Better planning and coordination
With clear insight into driver availability, operators can assign tasks more efficiently. Schedules become smoother and delays related to fatigue limits become easier to avoid.
Faster onboarding and training
New drivers can learn how to use the app quickly due to its clear layout and simple workflow. This reduces training time and allows teams to focus on delivery rather than paperwork.
Works with existing devices
Logmaster is certified for use on Apple and Android smartphones and tablets, avoiding the cost of specialised hardware and reducing barriers to implementation.

First day with Logmaster was to my surprise was user friendly. Josh was very thorough in taking me through all the steps in setting up the Logmaster app. I would recommend Logmaster to all drivers regardless of age. Never have to worry about making a mistake as it tells you if you are. Great customer service after hours support is second to none.

Have started using Logmaster after trying 3 other models. I actually enjoy using it. Very easy to use and follow and the help if you need it is top notch by the developer. Does everything by the minute and works when no service is available. My system is customised for me and fits well with my system (I’m WA). Cost is on par with two of the other ones looked at.
