Sleep in bed on night shifts? Dreaming?
Thread Content
A few days ago, I saw Guan Guan post on WeChat: Is it okay to let workers on night shifts sleep in beds? It seems to be from a newspaper in Lanzhou, Gansu Province; both are chemical enterprises, but their organizational structures are different – there’s a huge difference between them! There’s never enough work to get done in a day; it’s already good enough if we can take a nap. A single position has gone from having seven or eight people at the beginning of the factory’s establishment to just two or three people now, yet the working area has more than doubled. When dealing with maintenance on certain equipment, it’s simply impossible to focus on on-site supervision while also handling the operations at the site! Originally, the goal was to improve the device’s automatic control level so as to prevent people from working too hard, but there was little improvement in this aspect. After several years of operation, the equipment became riddled with problems. On one hand, one learns from others the practice of comprehensive benchmarking management; on the other hand, one learns from them how to reduce the variety of tasks within a given area by focusing solely on the results rather than the process. In a place like that, there must be many cameras; not to mention sleeping, even staying still for too long would result in an alert. Why do other factories offer such good benefits? I’m really envious of them :(
Is it okay to let the workers on night shifts sleep in beds? ? No! Is going to work supposed to make you sleep?
Those on night shifts can’t even lie down in bed, let alone sleep on duty; the people on shift can
In such cases, it should be the staff on duty who are responsible for maintenance, management, and services. If they don’t sleep while on duty, they will have to take a day off the following day; if they are allowed to sleep, they can take half a day off the next day. It’s a sensible arrangement from the boss’s point of view – it reduces costs, minimizes days off, and ensures continuous production. It’s truly beautiful------the boss, or rather, the company.
The deadly night shifts – a pain that chemical industry workers cannot even mention. . . . .
Different positions have different requirements. If the doorman has no other duties, they can sleep during the night shift as long as it does not interfere with work. The control room crew members cannot work night shifts while lying in bed.
Employees who are able to go to bed must be on duty; operators generally aren’t allowed to do that. It probably isn’t a good thing, as many companies require rotating shifts without paying overtime, but it’s okay to sleep if there’s no work to do. I guess that’s the situation here.
The duty personnel can go to bed after completing their rounds, but employees definitely cannot. Because the staff on duty still need to work normally during the day the following day.
Some enterprises under the existing system claim to follow a \"people-oriented\" approach; I really don’t know what they’re thinking It is possible to improve working conditions; it’s really surprising that things have progressed to such a state
When working night shifts, ensuring safe production is of top priority; within acceptable limits, it’s fine to take turns resting
