Certain work schedules, particularly those that disrupt an employee’s
natural body clock, may increase the risk for accidents and injuries on
the job. Our infographic below illustrates some of the riskiest work schedules,
according to the National Safety Council (NSC).
When Is the Riskiest Time to Work?
Night Shifts
According to the National Safety Council (NSC), safety incidents are 30%
higher during night shifts.
Long Hours
Employees should only work for a certain amount of time. Each additional
hour worked past a regular shift increases the chances of a work accident.
