Consequences of Shift Work in Industry: A Critical Review

Manish Bhadke*, Minhaj Ahemad A Rehman

The goal is to determine which aspects of shift work have a negative impact on employees' health, well-being, and productivity in the workplace. Based on inclusion criteria, 27 research studies were chosen from a total of 60. Studies were chosen for review based on their unique outcome measurement, such as health, weariness, sleepiness, sleep disorders, injuries, and accidents. The impact of shift work on these specific outcomes was investigated, and the severity was addressed in order to determine whether or not intervention was necessary. The review emphasised the multiple complications that shift work research entails, which make it difficult. In order to improve shift work research, more high-quality, field-data-based preventative research in the field of shift work in industry is needed.
