Shiftworkers Keep The World Turning At All Hours

The world of goods and services runs 24 hours a day, thanks to the efforts of shiftworkers.

However, they pay a high price for the conveniences we all enjoy.  It can be difficult to get enough sleep on a non-traditional work schedule.  Irregular meals can contribute to health problems.  Shiftworkers can be at greater risk for certain safety hazards because of working at night and working when they are sleepy.

Try some of these ideas to make shiftwork easier and safer:

• Talk to your family about your work and sleep schedule and try to find ways to keep the family peace. 
• Get regular exercise.  This can improve your digestion, help you sleep better and reduce stress.
• Follow all of your company’s security procedures including lock-up procedures.

All of society reaps the benefits of  those who keep things running when the rest of us are asleep.  If you are a shiftworker, take good care of yourself so you can keep up the good work!
