What is Shift Work?

The shift work is done according to the traditional schedule from 9 am to 5 pm. It may include evening or evening shifts, early morning shifts and shifts. Many industries rely heavily on shift work and millions of people work in turns that require replacement.

Approximately 15% of full-time salaries and salaries in the US work beyond traditional daytime schedules.

Most of shift workers are engaged in defense services (such as police and firefighters), food preparation and services, and medical services and transportation services.

Shifting work is essential in many industries and we rely on shift workers to provide important services outside of working hours.

Unfortunately, shift work gives great damage to human health and welfare as well. In the poll of the 2008 National Sleep Foundation, only 63% (89% of nonswitched workers) of shift workers answered that they could sleep adequately on their work schedule.

They sleep less than 6 hours on weekdays, work longer on average on weekly basis, and experience at least one sleepy drive monthly in the previous year.

Not all shift workers have sleep disorders. However, it is believed that about 10% of night shift workers or shift workers have sleep disorders called shift work shift obstacles.

Approximately 25 to 30% of shift workers suffer from symptoms of this disease, such as excessive drowsiness and insomnia

Shift work is also related to other aspects of physical and mental health, performance and safety.

Shift staff should learn concrete techniques to improve sleep and management schedule, in order to maintain optimal sleep and health as much as possible.

Shifted work increases the risk of developing many diseases. The shift work sleep disorder is a circadian rhythm sleep disorder characterized by insomnia, excessive drowsiness, or both. Shifted work is considered essential for diagnosis. For workers with shift work, especially men, the risk of type 2 diabetes increases. People working at rotation are more vulnerable than others. Women working at night shift have a 48% higher risk of developing breast cancer. This may be due to a change in circadian rhythm. Melatonin (a known tumor suppressor) is usually produced at night and slow alternation may interfere with its production. The International Cancer Research Organization of the World Health Organization raises the possibility of carcinogenic substance as "shift work accompanied by disruption of circadian rhythm". Shift work may also increase the risk of other types of cancer

Shifting work can be thought of as a work mode in which workers in different groups make the same work succeed in the same place or place. At the beginning of the shift operation, the work of the previous shift is inherited and at the end of the shift the work is passed to the next shift. Shifted work normally requires inexorable time in the morning, evening or weekend, and weekly holiday is not always consistent with the usual day off (ie weekend).

Also known as rotational shift operation, the rotation schedule is essentially the opposite of the fixed shift. Different shifts will shift between employees, sometimes according to an established schedule, sometimes depending on the needs of the employer. For example, a shift worker can take the first shift on Monday and Tuesday, the third shift on Wednesday and Friday, and the second shift on Thursday and Saturday. Split conversion happens when employees are working on two different shifts on the same day. It is not necessary to divide the move, not the regular break or the lunch break. During the peak like the restaurant industry a decentralized shift is common in the industry and the staff enter hurriedly or in the lunch break in the morning, after a break in the afternoon will be in time for work for the dinner crowd.
