“…From the perspective of sleep, Dom ínguez et al used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess the sleep quality of gas station employees [53]. Liu et al conducted occupational health examinations and used anxiety questionnaires to investigate the sleep and emotional statuses of gas station operators and managers [54].…”

“…The symptoms of sleep disorders include poor concentration, weariness, anxiety, and disorientation [52]. One study found that 14.7% of workers reported severe difficulty sleeping (>1 h) and 24.5% had sleep problems [53]. Liu et al observed neurasthenia in 36.6% of administrators and 73.8% of employees participating in the refuelling operation [54].…”

BACKGROUND: Occupational health factors such as shift work, sleep, fatigue, and work environment jeopardise the health and safety of gas station workers. This calls for new research to investigate how the working environment and characteristics impact the occupational health of workers at gas stations. However, minimal research has been conducted in this field, especially those involving psychological and behavioural factors, occupational stress, and so forth. OBJECTIVE: This review was performed to investigate the present condition of the occupational risk of gas station workers in this safety-critical position. METHODS: Five databases (Web of Science, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar, and PsycINFO) were searched for relevant peer-reviewed studies. Results were selected according to these criteria: studies on fatigue, shift work, sleep, and physical and mental health of gas station employees; published on or before November 11, 2021; papers in English. RESULTS: Twenty studies were considered for the final analysis. The results showed that shift work at gas stations leads to psychological and physiological problems. The psychological consequences included anxiety, stress, and depression, while the physiological consequences included biochemical changes and lifestyle consequences. CONCLUSION: Shift work and the specific working environment of gas station employees adversely affect their sleep, stress levels, physical and mental health, and turnover intention. This systematic review allowed us to consider the occupational risk factors that can lead to sickness or accidents and contribute to reducing these risk factors. Realistic countermeasures ought to be established and interventions must be explored to mitigate risks to life, property, and the environment in operating gas stations.
