For an employee who has been off the rigs for more than 545 days, how many weeks of 8-hour days are required?

In the context of the Minneapolis Fire Department's Standard Operating Procedures, when an employee has been off the rigs for more than 545 days, a minimum of 3 weeks of training consisting of 8-hour days is mandated before they can return to active duty. This is to ensure the employee is properly reoriented and updated on any procedural changes, equipment advancements, or safety protocols that may have been implemented during their absence.

Reintegrating personnel after a significant time away is crucial in maintaining operational efficiency and safety standards within the department. The extended training period allows the employee to regain proficiency and confidence in their skills, ensuring they are fully prepared to handle the demands of their role upon returning to the rigs.
