What Is WorkSafe WA Fatigue Management?

WorkSafe WA fatigue management is the set of rules for commercial vehicle drivers in Western Australia, under the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 and the Work Health and Safety (General) Regulations 2022. WorkSafe WA administers them, and its code of practice explains how to apply them.

Businesses need a driver fatigue management plan and must keep records of each driver's work time, breaks and non-work time. Drivers have to drive within WA's operating standard, hold a current medical certificate and keep records.

The Heavy Vehicle National Law doesn't apply in WA, and work diaries aren't required for driving within the state. Once a truck over 12 tonnes, or a bus built for more than 12 adults, is driven outside WA and the NT, the driver needs a work diary under the HVNL. Logmaster supports WA fatigue plans as well as NHVR rule sets.

Why WA Drivers Use Logmaster

WA does fatigue differently, so you need a tool that knows it. Logmaster uses WA plans and keeps a clean record for every shift.
Minute-by-minute logging icon

Logging to the minute

Logged to the minute, your WA work and break records show exactly what happened, with no rounding to the quarter hour. That gives the business an honest record of every shift to set against its fatigue management plan.
Less paperwork icon

No more paper to chase

The screens are clear, so fewer mistakes get in, and a new entry can still be fixed before End of Day sign-off.
Fatigue breach alert icon

A heads‑up before the limit

A display of time remaining and an alert before you go over help you plan the day around your WA plan.
Offline mode icon

Works out of range

Plenty of WA roads have no coverage for hours at a time. Logmaster keeps recording offline, stores the entries on the device and syncs them once you're in range, so nothing needs re-entering.
Drivers icon

Designed for people who drive for work

Work records, declarations and vehicle checks are handled in one app, so WA drivers aren't switching between forms and paper.

What WA Operators Receive

With Logmaster, driver records are visible to the office as they happen, whether drivers are on WA plans or crossing into NHVR states.

All your WA drivers, live

Check every driver's status, upcoming WA plan limits and recent entries as they happen, and plan the next job knowing who has time.

Everything in one portal

Work time, breaks and non-work time are stored with pre-starts and fitness declarations in one secure system, ready to show when WorkSafe WA asks.

Less risk, less stress

Problems with a driver's hours show up on the day, so the roster can be adjusted under your fatigue plan.

Fewer last‑minute swaps

Upcoming limits are visible to the office, so jobs go to drivers with the time to do them and fatigue causes fewer delays.

Quick to learn

New drivers can lean on Logmaster's support team and training centre as they learn the WA plans in the app.

Use your own device

Drivers can use their own phones, or the business can get tablets and truck mounts through Logmaster for a fixed setup.

What Our Customers Say

Ray A.

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.

Mike H.

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.
