Data‑Driven Working‑Hour Patterns and Accident Risk
Summary
Modeling suggested late/long work with insufficient rest increased accident probability; informed safer schedule designs.
Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls
Real‑world data how rotation direction, quick‑returns, and long duties was evident on shift as injuries for night‑shift workers and night owls. Patterns in the data make ‘quick returns’ and rotation direction concrete risk features rather than abstract policy terms. For night‑shift teams and individuals, this ties long‑debated rota features to concrete outcomes, making schedule talk about health, not preference.
