: Does anyone know of any studies, policies or regulations concerning the safety of 12 hour rotating shifts?
If you are talking about 12hrs/day 7days/week I have done it infrequently for no more than a few weeks at a time.
If you are healthy and don't have a lot of stress outside the job then it is hard but survivable. If you aren't healthy it can kill you.
If you have a lot of outside stress it can drive you crazy. Haven't seen the studies but have seen the results.
