Rail Fatigue Compliance Guide
This is the starting point for rail fatigue compliance in Skillo Suppliers. It summarises how Network Rail standard NR/L2/OHS/003 maps to checks in Skillo Suppliers, with links to the detailed guides for each rule. Configure thresholds in Compliance settings, then enforce them when you assign candidates, send a shifts request, or batch import shifts.
Network Rail rule vs Skillo enforcement
| Network Rail NR/L2/OHS/003 rule | Skillo enforcement | Fix it with |
|---|---|---|
| Max 60h (toggle 60/72) in 7 rolling days | Blocks assignment / request approval | Reassign, spread hours, check candidate schedule |
| 14h+ door-to-door (shift + travel) | Blocks or flags D2D exceedance | Add accommodation, update travel mode |
| More than 12h in one shift / working day | Blocks assignment / approval | Split or shorten the shift |
| Less than 12h rest between shifts | Blocks assignment / approval | Reassign to a rested candidate |
| More than 13 days/nights in 14 rolling days | Blocks assignment / approval | Give rest days, check schedule |
| Day FRI 35+, night FRI 45+, risk 1.6+ | Blocks (hard checks on) or flags exceedance | Change shift timing, add breaks, shorten travel — see FRI guide |
Hard vs soft behaviour is controlled by Hard door-to-door checks and Hard Fatigue and Risk Index checks in Compliance settings: checked = block, unchecked = record the exceedance on the shift.
