Maximum Work Shift Times

[Tad Blanchard <Tad.M.Blanchard.1@gsfc.nasa.gov>]

This may have been posted before, but we had a question from one of our
Radiation Effects Facility staff who runs the Hot Cell.  Our exposure
operations sometimes run for weeks at a time.  Does anyone have information
as to the maximum amount of hours an individual would be allowed to perform
work without time off for sleep?  This may be a Dept of Labor or OSHA thing
but definitely involves safety and the safe operations of our irradiator.

You should reply to me directly at mailto:Tad.M.Blanchard.1@gsfc.nasa.gov
unless you feel the information would be useful to the entire RADSAFE list.

Thanks in advance.
