Station Workload
« on: February 14, 2007, 08:02:29 PM »
I am looking at the workload on station personnel.

Does anyone have examples of station working routines or opinions that they can share with me?

It is a complicated subject (can of worms).

Issues that I have identified are:
Concerns about changing shift patterns.
Reflecting the different workload on WMs, CMs, FFs, people on development.
Targets - both proportional (eg % of working time) and absolute ( eg x home fire safety visits / appliance/ month).
Attitutes - "Can do" , "Turning a blind eye"
Actual established "custom and practise" vs obscure written instructions (perhaps old or open to interpretation)
The current rate of change

Are we talking wholetime, retained, or Day manned here? Or all 3?

Wholetime on  9, 9, 15, 15, tour of duty.

Also, I would be interested in work priorities - for example, given a limited time does CFS take priority over physical training (reality or written guidance)?
