Dear All, We are preparing for one of our plants shutdown.In our last shutdown we had 2 shifts of 12 hrs each and the shutdown lasted for 12 days.The upcomming shutdown is a major one and is expected for 40 days. we are now deciding for how long/day (like 12 hrs or 16 hrs/day) can workers work and how long/month a labour can continuous work (like 15 days continuous without a day-off). Are there any standards available? There are many factors like weather, capability of sub-cons, nature of work etc which decide this working time frame.BUT, Is there any generally accepted BEST PRACTICES HANDBOOK FOR TURNAROUND PROJECTS available with YOU. Thanks a lot in advance for your great support. Ahmed |
