What is the Chain of Responsibility provision relating to fatigue?
Under Chain of Responsibility provisions, certain parties in the supply chain, not just the driver, have a duty to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the driver does not drive while fatigued or drive in breach of his or her work and rest hours option. These parties include: employers, prime contractors, operators, schedulers, loading managers, consignors, consignees, loaders and unloaders. See the Fatigue Chain of Responsibility fact sheet for more details.
