Permanent night work and risk of injuries: A register-based cohort study using payroll data

KNKirsten Nabe-NielsenAAAnders AagaardALAnn Dyreborg Larsen

Key Points

  • To investigate the risk of injuries among permanent night workers compared to evening workers and those on multiple shift schedules.
  • Conducted a cohort study using payroll data.
  • Analyzed injury rates among different work shift types.
  • Examined factors like task differences and worker adaptation.
  • Permanent night workers showed a lower risk of injuries compared to evening workers.
  • Injury rates among night workers were also lower than those in 2- or 3-shift schedules.
  • Factors such as task differences and adaptation might explain the observed patterns.

Abstract

Permanent night workers had lower risk of injuries than permanent evening workers and workers in 2- or 3-shift schedules. Differences in tasks, adaptation, and selection may contribute to this pattern. Injury prevention efforts should prioritize workers exposed to night shifts in combination with other shift types.
