Shift Work

Manufacturing often relies on shift work—any work outside of regular Monday to Friday daytime hours. With the increased demand for longer hours of service, easier access to goods and services, tighter production deadlines, and high production expectations, shift work has become a normal part of many people's working lives. While shift work may provide some benefits, it also comes with many hazards. Fatigue caused by shift work can impair your judgement. Impaired judgement can lead to incidents. These incidents can be at work or outside of work, like on the drive home.
