European Working Directive to come in to ground transport workers sometime in 2003. I believe this includes:
Max 10 hr shifts.
Min 10 hours between shifts
Can work no more than 6 consec days.
This applies to rostered shifts only and not any O/T.
We applied this last year and work various 8 / 10 hrs shifts on 4on 2 off basis. Got initial complaints but everyone alot brighter which means a safer working enviorment.
Can't beat 2D2N 4OFF...basically work two days, get inconvience for two nights then 4 days on golf course! Thanks Europe...for nothing?
