set times for breaks

[Lyn Ed]

Do you guys have set times for breaks, i like to try and stop at 10 oclock and then 1 oclock give or take depending how busy we are, i`ve worked with a few guys who did`nt have any routine for breaks and the day just does`nt seem to go as smooth, whats your thoughts.

Coffee before start, then 15 min break somewhere between 10.30 and 11.00, lunch 12.30ish, afternoon tea somewhere between 3.00 and 3.30. If customer come out with tea at, say 10.00 then we tend to skip the break before lunch. Same in afternoon... Works well. Had the odd day where we slog away forgetting the first break then all of a sudden it's 2pm, we're Hank Marvin and run out of time for lunch, and the afternoon turns into a blur of stroppiness!

i wouldnt call a climber down from a tree because the clock says it's lunchtime.... when you work outside you have to give an take a bit i think........ within reasons!!!!

All sounds familiar! No regular breaks here but we tend to get set up first, barriers cones, access lines up trees etc. then have a cuppa and fill in the RA and come up with a plan! Lunch depends on how well that plan is working. It's nice if you can get packed up and still have time for a cuppa and a breather before the journey home.

Break? Whats a break? Dont stop till you get the job done. Dont stop till you get enough!
