Risk of injury after evening and night work – findings from the Danish Working Hour Database

Abstract: Objectives Evening and night work have been associated with higher risk of injury than day work. However, previous findings may be affected by recall bias and unmeasured confounding from differences between day, evening and night workers. This study investigates whether evening and night work during the past week increases risk of injury when reducing recall bias and unmeasured confounding. Methods We linked daily working hours at the individual level of 69 200 employees (167 726 person years from 2008-2015), … Show more

“…A sensitivity analysis tested for additional potential unmeasured confounding between employees with and without quick returns. This was done by restricting the population to employees with at least one quick return the past year, analogous to a previous study (40).…”

“…The study population has previously been described in detail (31). In brief, we included all employees in the DWHD from two regions of Denmark (urban and rural area), between 18 and 65 years old and with at least one year of work experience registered in the DWHD between 2007-2015.…”

“…Night-shift workers who, due to their work schedule, are forced to change their sleep cycles against their individual needs are particularly affected by psychomotor vigilance impairment. For example, shift workers are at an increased risk for work injuries, but also for drowsiness, car crashes or near-miss automobile incidents while commuting [1113]. Risks for accidents appear to be most pronounced after the first night shift, followed by a subsequent decrease with additional night shifts.…”

“…Letztlich besteht eine Möglichkeit, die sich durch Erreichbarkeit erhöhende Gesamtarbeitszeit zu reduzieren, indem die Zeiten, die für die Erreichbarkeit von Arbeitsanforderungen genutzt werden, auf die Arbeitszeit angerechnet werden. Dies sollte möglichst unter Berücksichtigung der elfstündigen Ruhezeit erfolgen, da mehrere Studien aus Skandinavien die fehlbeanspruchenden Auswirkungen der Reduzierung der elfstündigen Ruhezeiten belegen (Nielsen et al 2018;Vedaa et al 2017aVedaa et al , 2017b. Eine Neuorientierung bei der Anerkennung von Arbeitszeiten ist gerade vor dem Hintergrund relevant, dass die in dieser Untersuchung beschriebene Arbeit der Erreichbaren mit ihren hohen wissens-, kommunikations-und kooperationsintensiven Anforderungen typisch ist für die sich durch Digitalisierung und Vernetzung verändernde Arbeitswelt mit ihrer Verlagerung der Arbeitsanforderungen weg von einfachen hin zu qua-K lifikationsfordernder Arbeit (Hacker 2018;Hornung et al 2010).…”
