This Circular is applicable to staff members of the Fire and Rescue Service
It cancels and replaces Administrative Circular No. 25 (Rev. 2) entitled “Shift work – Special provisions for the Fire and Rescue Service” of April 2003.

This new version takes into account the new organisation of the Fire and Rescue Service, members of which will henceforth not exclusively perform their functions in the context of shift work, but also during reference working hours and during stand-by duty. Additionally, applicable limits regarding working and rest times and a general changeover time added to the hours worked in the context of shift work have been introduced in the circular. The Consultative Board specific to the Fire and Rescue Service was also suppressed.
