abstract="The way work is scheduled can have a significant impact on productivity and safety. Trying to determine a reliable relationship between scheduling details and this impact has not been easy. The relationship is a complex one because it is not simply a mater of how many hours a person is working, but also includes when the person is working (daytime, afternoon, night), how many &quot;days&quot; (shifts) in a row the person is working, and how frequently during the work day the person takes breaks from work. Recent research has pointed out that there are sufficient good-quality studies to model the impact of these factors on injury risk. The available research was reviewed and developed into a model that allows estimation of the relative risk based on type of shift (day, afternoon, night), number of consecutive shifts, hours per shift, and time between breaks. This paper describes the source research data, modeling procedures and cautions of interpreting and applying the modeling.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
