<abstract displayLabel="Summary">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 workplace</abstract>
