Maintenance management is the process of maintaining the resources and assets of a company while controlling time and costs to ensure maximum efficiency of the manufacturing process. It goes through the regular monitoring of the functioning of vehicles, machines, equipment, facilities, and tools.

Formerly known as the Transitional Fatigue Management Scheme, the current Basic Fatigue Management (BFM) gives operators a greater say in when drivers can work and rest, providing the risk of working long and night hours is properly managed. With a BFM Accreditation, you can operate under more flexible work and rest hours if the risks of driver fatigue are properly managed.

Chain of Responsibility (CoR) is a concept that places legal obligations on parties in the transport supply chain. It was created to impart accountability, driver fatigue management, speed, overloading and load restraint issues.

 Under the CoR, complying with transport law is a shared responsibility, and all parties in the road transport supply chain are responsible for ensuring the safety of their transport activities.

A Mass Management accreditation encourages heavy vehicle operators to take more responsibility for loading their trucks correctly and ensuring they are not overloaded. 

It helps you to manage your business more efficiently, partly because you will have clear procedures for ensuring that your trucks are not overloaded and partially because there will be reduced risk of penalties from mass offences. It should also lead to greater productivity and road safety.
