- Title
What constitutes an unsafe work schedule?
- Authors
Tucker, Philip
- Abstract
The author reflects on an article in the issue about the effect of shift and night work and long working hours on employee's health, safety, performance and outcomes. He argues that many studies have tended to under-specify the design of the schedules being studied, like comparisons between day and night work. He suggests to consider the length of an individual duty period in light of the accumulated number of hours that are worked during the week.
