Ever wonder why people tend to get hurt more on a Friday afternoon than any other time of the week? Distraction...thinking about the weekend. </p> <p>Probably the same thing happening when someone has been working 12 hours straight. It's a curve and different for everyone, but I do think that in general there's a drop-off in attentiveness and/or effectiveness after the 9th hour. </p> http://www.todaysmachiningworld.com/forum/topic/overtime-shift#post-673 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:55:10 +0000 Anonymous 673@http://www.todaysmachiningworld.com/forum/ <p>I don't want to tell you how to run your business, but 12 hours is to long of a day. I find that the guys in the shop tend to pace themselves to last for 12 hours. I found that a better way is to have ten hour shifts four days a week. Some people get friday, saturday, sunday off and some get Saturday, sunday, monday off. If you need them to work more hours just keep it to ten. </p>
