Shift work
Shift work can be described as any form of employment that does not have a regular daytime work schedule. About 25 per cent of Canada's full-time working population works shifts (Statistics Canada).
At the June 2011 Provincial Coordinators Meeting, a health and safety panel discussed the effects of shift work on health. Below you can download their presentations.
