The driver was 89 hours into a four-day shift and had worked 17 hours straight since his first callout the previous day.

When Brooke Hampton was handed the reins of an automotive repair company by her grandfather, she adopted the unsafe practices of its employees including 96-hour straight on-call shifts.

His employer, YJ Auto Repairs, was on Wednesday convicted and fined $115,000 for breaches of workplace health and safety laws, including not having policies and procedures in place to protect employees from fatigue-related risks. Failing to apply the same advice to its own staff and contractors was a gross dereliction of their duty of care, he said.
