Mobile Workers Hours Recording
Are you aware of what you MUST do to comply with the Road Transport Directive?
- New regulations came into force on 4 April 2005 which govern how many hours mobile workers can operate
- You are legally obliged to log your drivers daily and weekly hours
- Calculate all drivers hours for each week AND averages over your reference period!
- These records must be kept for 2 years and be made available for inspection by DfT inspectors
MWHR makes it easy
- MWHR is a web based system for logging drivers hours
- It will highlight if drivers are exceeding weekly working limits so you can take action
- It is easy to use and much simpler than keeping paper records
- It generates company and driver reports so that you can satisfy any inspection requests at any time
- Information can be securely and safely entered anywhere where you have an Internet connection - even on the road!
- Only have a few drivers – MWHR is so cost effective costs are recouped within weeks.
Is your Tachograph analyst providing you with your Working Time Directive (WTD) reports?
They can – but YOU must provide considerable additional details that are not on the tacho.
- The analyst must aggregate BOTH analogue & digital tacho data for a driver.
- All of your drivers holidays & sickness.
- Their actual start & end times of the working day – these are not recorded on the tachograph.
The major problem for the analyst is time and availability of the basic data. It is not possible to send your tachos away within 21 days – each driver must retain their last 21 days tachos with them. Therefore, once you get them in from your drivers and then send them off it’s probably 28 days.
Dispatch them and await their return. At the very best we are now 35 days after the event. This is far too late. Any problems must be dealt with immediately, 4, 5 or 6 weeks after the event is not acceptable.
How much does it cost and what do I need to do next?
- It costs no more than £1 per driver per week to keep your records in order.
