Increased use of shift work depends on keeping productivity and safety at acceptable levels. Approximately 7000 workers in the Norwegian offshore industry are working night shifts.
We have reviewed relevant literature on injuries in relation to shift work.
The literature is inconclusive. The reason for this is most likely that all the studies are either observational or retrospective; no controlled interventions were found. However, shift work generally and night shifts in particular seem to increase the risk of injury. When newer data are taken into account, these clearly indicate that shift work is associated with reduced safety and productivity.
We conclude that if and when shift work is needed, it should be organised with certain patterns and rest breaks in order to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries. Focused and well-planned research is strongly needed in this field. Very few studies have been conducted on shift work and health effects offshore.
轮班工作使用的增加取决于将生产力和安全性维持在可接受水平。挪威近海行业约有7000名工人从事夜班工作。
我们回顾了与轮班工作相关的伤害的相关文献。
文献尚无定论。最可能的原因是所有研究均为观察性或回顾性研究；未发现对照干预措施。然而，一般轮班工作，尤其是夜班工作似乎会增加受伤风险。考虑到更新的数据，这些数据清楚地表明轮班工作与安全性和生产力降低有关。
我们得出结论，如果需要轮班工作，应按照特定模式和休息时间进行安排，以降低事故和受伤风险。该领域迫切需要有针对性且精心规划的研究。关于近海轮班工作及其对健康影响的研究极少。
