Advantages and Disadvantages of 12-Hour Shifts: A Balanced PerspectivePublished by: Circadian Technologies, Inc. Published: Jan. 1, 2008 - 17 Pages Table of Contents
AbstractTwelve-hour shifts are still one of the most frequently debated topics in shift work management. Managers, shiftworkers, union representatives, federal regulators, corporate policy makers, and academic experts continue to question and debate how 12-hour shifts compare to 8-hour shifts. Are they safe? What is the impact on performance, productivity and quality? What effects do they have on shiftworkers alertness, health and family life? Do they cause problems for management or shiftworkers?In our role as the leading consulting firm in shiftwork management, CIRCADIAN has collected considerable data on the benefits and complications of 12-hour shifts through our work with utilities, chemical plants, oil refineries, pulp and paper mills and many other industries running 24/7. During this process, we have surveyed tens of thousands of shiftworkers and conducted interviews with thousands of managers, superintendents, supervisors, regulators and shift schedule specialists. This report is the product of that work and examines the pros and cons of 12-hour shifts from both a management and shiftworker perspective. It also features a review of the main features of 8 and 12-hour schedules. Get Full Details About This Report >> |
