Records and Documentation Health Workplace conditions Management Practices Operating Limits Comparison of Standard Hours vs. AFM options At State Transit, Bus Operators are categorised as Standard, Other or AFM on the roster. The classification is written next to their name on the roster. For simplification and clarity the differing operating conditions are summarised in Table 4 below. Table 4: Summary of Different Hour and Rest Limits and Implication for Bus Operators Definitions To achieve a night rest 7 hours continuous rest must be taken between 10pm and 8 am. A night rest is also achieved by having a rest day (i.e. 24 hours continuous stationary rest). A night shift is a shift that finishes after 1am or starts before 5am. Stationary rest time is the time a driver spends out of a regulated heavy vehicle or in an approved sleeper berth of a stationary regulated heavy vehicle.
