Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - The Design of shift systems

Notes: Sumario: The aim of this paper is to review the relevant literature available for designing shift systems. This article discusses the following recommendations: nightwork should be reduced as much as posible; extended workdays (9-12 h) should only be contemplated, if the nature of work and the workload are suitable; an early start for the morning shift should be avoided; quick changeovers must be avoided. Every shift system should include some free weekends with at least two successive full days off; the forward rotation of shifts would seem to be recommendable at least in continuous shift systemsRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 36, nº 1-3, January-March 1993 ; p. 15-28Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Trabajo por turnos Biorritmos Trabajo nocturno Tiempos de trabajo Diseño del trabajo Organización del trabajo Secondary titles: Título: Ergonomics
