BEST No. 1/2000. Shiftwork and Health


Author: Wedderburn, Alexander
Summary: Shiftwork and other forms of working at unusual hours, and especially working at night have always raised some health concerns. This issue of BEST aims to provide help and guidance in this complex area and covers sleep and fatigue; digestion; heart disease; women's problems; social and domestic life; and psychological problems. The supplement 'On time' highlights working-time issues as they feature in the EIROnline website and in Foundation research and also presents a comparative overview in a graphic form of weekly working hours in the 15 EU Member States. BEST presents important developments in the field of time. It is addressed to those developing policies in this field working in the Institutions of the European Commission, national governments and the social partners in the European Union. BEST is published twice a year in English, French and German.
