Why are Shift Handovers Important?
In many industries, shift handovers are a critical part of ensuring continuity of operations and preventing miscommunication that could lead to issues.
Every second incident or accident in the process industry can be related to communication errors during shift turnover. While less than 5% of an operation’s staff time is dedicated to start-up, shutdown, and changeover periods, 40% of plant incidents occur during this brief time.
Shift handovers in the oil and gas industry are essential for maintaining safety and production levels. In manufacturing, shift handovers are also crucial for quality control. If a problem arises during one shift, the next shift must be aware of the issue so that they can take steps to fix it.
Elements of an Effective Shift Handover Checklist
1. Shift information: This should include details of the shift start and end times and the names of all personnel involved.
2. Shift activities: A summary of all activities carried out during the shift, including maintenance, production, and safety checks.
3. Findings and issues: Any findings or issues that arose during the shift, including any incidents or near-misses.
4. Actions taken and follow-up actions required:This should be clear and concise so that everyone understands what needs to be done.
Tip: Keep summaries short and on point. You don’t need whole sentences–be concise! Also, pictures are a great way to get your message across quickly and efficiently.
