Título Studies on the stress caused by shift work and automated manufacturing
Título original Untersuchungen zur Beanspruchung durch Schichtarbeit unter den Bedingungen automatisierter Fertigung [en alemán]
Información bibliográfica July 1988, Vol.34, No.7, p.409-412. Illus.
Resumen Shift work is an unspecific stress factor, the effect of which is modified by specific workplace conditions and tasks. To identify a potentially increased health risk due to flexible hours of work including prolonged shifts, a group of ten test persons in the metal-processing industry was checked during 8-hour and 12-hour shifts. The measured values of selected physical and psychological variables and data on general well-being indicate that work of the type discussed does not entail an increased health risk. Furthermore, the resulting longer rest periods improve the effects of recreation. From the viewpoint of hygiene at work, however, a workplace-related analysis of the physical and mental workload is required.
