Offshift - The main responsibility of our off shift is to monitor the tests that are ongoing; they will do inspections and log their observations and will need to communicate with the 1st shift staff if there are any issues as well as the personnel on the next shift. In some cases, they may be asked to support a setup or something minor, but they will be given direction. Typically, we have them train on 1st shift for several months before they move to their normal shift.
