Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Is there a 'best compromise' shift system?

Notes: Sumario: The evidence on the various problems reviewed by Wilkinson (in his article 'how fast should the night shift rotate?') is reconsidered. Other aspects of shift systems that were ignored by Wilkinson are then also taken into account. It is concluded that the evidence does not allow a general choice to be made between the use of either permanent night shifts or rapidly rotating, delaying, shift system. Rather the choice between them would appear to depend on the relative importance attached to safety and social problems in any given workplaceRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 35, nº 12, December 1992 ; p. 1453-1463Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Trabajo por turnos Trabajo nocturno Biorritmos Tiempos de trabajo Ritmo circadiano Riesgo laboral Aspectos sociales Secondary titles: Título: Ergonomics
