workers during night.

CREATION OF CONDUCIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT DURING NIGHT SHIFT

Include shift and night workers in all company training

initiatives. Introduce family-friendly policies that include the difficulties faced by shift and night workers. Educate Managers, shift workers and night workers about the need for proper sleep and the dangers of fatigue. Ensure all night and shift workers considered in all appropriate risk assessments and workstation assessments.

MORAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES ARISING DUE TO NIGHT SHIFT

Night work causes quality of life problems, depression and

fatigue for most people. The employee is affected psychologically and mentally. He may be feel sad and irritated after working in the night. Higher divorce rate, worse rates of substance abuse and depression and are more likely to occur as the job is stressful. Smoking is yet another issue involved as many workers indulge in smoking habit to keep themselves awake. Workers tend maintain extra relationship with women workers working in the night shift to rise above their emotional disorder associated with anxiety, which is yet another unethical practices.
