6 hours other work ¼ hr break 2 hours other work ¼ hr break 1 hour other work End of shift
6 hours consecutive other work triggers the break requirement under the Regulations. A break of at least 15 minutes must be taken. Mobile worker A then does another 2 hours other work, takes a break for 15 minutes and then completes another hour of other work before ending their shift. This complies with the Regulations as their working time is interrupted by breaks totalling 30 minutes.
Mobile worker B
6 hours other work ¼ hr break 3 hours other work ¼ hr break - this is not legal the second break cannot be taken at the end of the shift
6 hours consecutive other work triggers the break requirement under the Regulations. A break of at least 15 minutes must be taken. Mobile worker B then does another 3 hours other work before taking his second 15 minute break at the end of their shift. This does not comply with the Regulations as their working time has not been interrupted by breaks totalling 30 minute. It has only been interrupted by a break of 15 minutes.
If the mobile workers were to work longer than 9 hours than total breaks for the day would be 45 minutes.
this is what i mean
Both of those are for shifts with between 6 and 9 hours of working time and are not relevant to this discussion on a shift with more than 9 hours work. That is where you are going wrong applying the requirements for working time of between 6 and 9 hours to more than 9 hours. You can’t do that as the requirements are different.
as there are to type of shift one of 9 and one of 12 say there come under different requirements
and in the 9 hour shift as long as you take 30 mins brake before your shift ends but not at the end of you shift you will have meet the WTD
and in the 12 hour shift as long as you take 45 mins brake in that shift before your shift ends you meet the WTD you dont have to take 30 mins before 9 hours you can take it when ever you like(IE 15 mins at 12 pm and say 15 mins at 4pm and 15 min at 5 pm)as long it is not at the end of the shift
am i right now in what i think you mean
the only way you lean is to ask and as a my have some of it right it better to get the true facts there are there to make it complicated thank for putting me right
as there are to type of shift one of 9 and one of 12 say there come under different requirements YUP
and in the 9 hour shift as long as you take 30 mins brake before your shift ends but not at the end of you shift you will have meet the WTD YUP
and in the 12 hour shift as long as you take 45 mins brake in that shift before your shift ends you meet the WTD you dont have to take 30 mins before 9 hours you can take it when ever you like(IE 15 mins at 12 pm and say 15 mins at 4pm and 15 min at 5 pm)as long it is not at the end of the shift YUP and you just got the first 15 break in time so as not to go over the 6 hour rule from a 6am start
Believe me, I still have probs with tacho regs but this WTD seems to have now sunk in.
When I first read the WTD regs I was reading them the way I THOUGHT they should be done and not how they actually were

Correct, but it is better to think of it as 3 shifts, less that 6 hours work, 6 - 9 hours work and over 9 hours work. Also remember it isn’t the duration of the shift that counts, it is the amount of working time. POA and breaks do not count to that total so it is possible to do a shift of say 11 hours and because of large amounts of POA not be required to take a break at all.

Correct
