Title Occupational exposure limits for novel work schedules.
Bibliographic information June 1975, Vol.36, No.6, p.467-469. 3 ref.
Abstract Novel work schedules such as 4x10h/week or 3x12h for 3 weeks and 4x12h for 3 weeks are now being introduced in the United States. Modified occupational threshold limit values can be calculated from the formulae suggested in this report. The system must however be applied cautiously, with good medical surveillance.
