Tema Oil Refinery Adopts 1-4-4 Shift Model Under 24-Hour Economy Policy: Managing Director

The Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) is currently operating under a ‘1-4-4’ work model as part of the government’s 24-Hour Economy policy, according to its Managing Director, Edmond Kombat.

The model, as explained by Kombat, means that one job position is covered by four people working across four shifts. The arrangement is intended to support continuous operations by ensuring that employees take turns covering the same role throughout the day.

The announcement highlights TOR’s approach to organising its workforce under the 24-Hour Economy policy, which seeks to promote round-the-clock business operations and expand economic activity.

Under the ‘1-4-4’ arrangement, the four employees assigned to a position are expected to work in shifts, allowing the role to be covered at different times rather than relying on a single worker to remain on duty throughout the day.

The approach is particularly relevant to industrial facilities such as oil refineries, where maintaining operational continuity requires structured staffing arrangements and coordinated shift schedules.

Kombat’s disclosure provides an indication of how the refinery is implementing the policy within its operations. However, details regarding the number of workers currently covered by the arrangement, the total number of shifts worked daily and the policy’s impact on employment have not been provided in the announcement.

The 24-Hour Economy initiative is aimed at encouraging businesses and institutions to operate beyond conventional working hours, with the broader objective of creating employment opportunities and improving productivity.

TOR’s adoption of the model places workforce organisation at the centre of its implementation efforts, as the refinery seeks to maintain staffing coverage across different periods of the day.
