Morning All,
Does anyone know how long a day is under CDM Regs?
Obviously it could be anything between 8 to 16 hours.
Cheers,
Lee

Look at the 'man hours' area in the CDM regs as it is covered there; as a working day as far as I am concerned and probably the law is the amount of time a person spends working on site so it could be 2 hours, 7.5 hours or 12 hours depending on the needs of the job

A “ person day ” is any day or part of a day (no matter how short) when someone
is expected to carry out construction work. A person day relates to one
individual and includes Site Agents, Foreman and Supervisors.
They do not actually have to be carrying out any physical work to be
involved in “ construction work ” – if they are managing the project they are
included as a “ person day ” .

Most sites tend to work 36 hour days as handover approaches!
As BY states the day length is not fixed so somebody working only 1 hour has worked a person day as much as somebody doing a 16 hours stint
Look at it as the number of people on site on any day but exclude visitors who are not working on construction activities of the project

Construction also uses the calendar with 7 Fridays and 7 Sundays in the month, plus lots of Tomorrows. It makes promises so much easier to keep.
Have you never compacted a weeks work into a weekend then? :-)
Have to admit though my longest ever shift was in the Petrochem industry started 3pm on Friday and finished at 11pm on the following Wednesday - Paid for every hour:-) :-), including the bank holiday plus rates:-):-):-)

Regular hours for me and many others in the 'real' offshore days were 04:00 until 06:00 overtime then 06:00 until 18:00 standard time and them 18:00 till 22:00 overtime with three breaks per day all of which mounted together equaled three quarters of an hour with no 2 weeks on and two weeks off as we worked until a job was complete. O and you could work more hours if you wanted too!! Shutdowns on power stations and similar equaled 10 hour days @ 7 days a week as standard with overtime and 'deals' galore!
Those were the days!!!

Bob, Bob, the only drawback was the amount of time it took you to brush those side burns and tash!
Driving home in the new Cortina must have been a buzz though? ;)

Look at it this way. If they work on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday then that's three days.
'All days on which construction work takes place count towards the period of construction work' (L144)
