Working 12-hour shifts consecutively, especially at night, when your biorhythms are telling you that you should be asleep, is taxing. Operating a snow plow for hours on end takes considerable focus and an ability to think well ahead of the plow blade. Any lapse in concentration can result in an accident and potentially an injury.”
