Título Hours of work and shift work.
Información bibliográfica May 1976, Vol.19, No.3, p.331-340. Illus. 40 ref.
Resumen This paper concentrates largely on shift work (types of shift systems - with or without night work, effects on health and on family and social life, etc.). Criteria are proposed for optimal shift-work schedules: (1) single night shifts are better than consecutive night shifts; (2) at least 24h free time should be allowed after each night shift; (3) the cycle of a shift system should not be too long; (4) the length of the shift should be related to the type of work; and (5) as many free weekends as possible should be arranged with continuous shift work. In view of the extraordinary stress inflicted on people by shift work and night work, the authors suggest that the reasons given for the introduction of these systems of work should be carefully examined in each instance.
