Shiftwork Destroys Employee Health
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009
A marvelous article by Andrew Watterson in the summer 2009 UK Hazards Magazine reviews some of the newest occupational health research regarding the impact of working night and graveyard shifts (and rotating with dayturn) on employee health. There are increased risks of cancer, cardiovascular disease, accidents, pregnancy problems, clinical depression and divorce. The article describes some of the biology involved.
This British article criticizes their government agency HSE. Know that the U.S. OSHA is even less protective of workers.
How realistic are limits when employers want to offer 24/7 operating hours? Nurses are especially vulnerable because patient care requires 24/7 coverage.
No summary can do justice to this detailed article. Read it in its entirety @ Hazards Magazine..
