Good Working Practice • Provide similar facilities as those available during daytime and allow shift workers time for training and development. • Ensure temperature & lighting is appropriate and preferably adjustable. • Encourage interaction between workers and provide a means of contact for lone workers. • Ensure the workplace and surroundings are well lit, safe and secure. • Plan an appropriate and varied workload. Avoid early morning starts and try to fit shift times in with the availability of public transport. • Limit shifts to 12 h including overtime, or to 8 h if they are night shifts and/or the work is demanding, monotonous, dangerous and/or safety critical. • Encourage workers to take regular breaks and allow some choice as to when they are taken. • Consider the needs of vulnerable workers, such as young or aging workers and new and expectant mothers.
