According to the ILO, working in shifts is “a method of organization of working time in which workers succeed one another at the workplace so that the establishment can operate longer than the hours of work of individual workers” at different daily and night hours.


Within the broad category of shift work, we can make a distinction between a fixed shift system and a rotating one.


Under a fixed shift system, working time can be organized into two or three shifts: the early, late and/ or night shifts.


This means that one group of workers might work during the morning and early afternoon; another group will work during the late afternoon and evening, and the third group (in a three-shift system) will work during the night.


Under a rotating shift system, workers might be assigned to work shifts that vary regularly over time; these are called “rotating shifts” because they rotate around the clock (e.g. from a shift in the morning, to one in the afternoon, to one at night).


If the company’s equipment is running nonstop the whole week, we can speak of “continuous” shift work with 24 hours of work, seven days a week (i.e. 168 hours of company operating time).


There is a virtually unlimited number of potential shift work patterns.


根据国际劳工组织,轮班工作是 "一种组织工作时间的方法,在每天和夜间的不同时间,工人在工作场所相互接替,使机构的运作时间长于工人的个人工作时间"。
在轮班工作这一大类中,我们可以对固定轮班制度轮换轮班制度进行区分。
固定轮班制度下,工作时间可以被组织成两个或三个班次:早班、晚班和/或夜班。
这意味着,一组工人可能在上午和下午早些时候工作;另一组在下午晚些时候和晚上工作,第三组(在三班制中)在夜间工作。
轮换轮班制度下,工人可能被分配到随时间有规律地变化的班次;这些被称为 "轮班",因为它们是围绕时钟轮换的(例如,从早上的一个班次,到下午的一个班次,到晚上的一个班次)。
如果公司的设备整个星期都在不停地运行,我们可以说是 "连续 "轮班工作,一周七天,24小时工作(即168小时的公司运营时间)。
潜在的轮班工作模式的数量几乎是无限的。

In order to limit the potential negative impacts of shift work, it is recommended that a shift system should be structured with the following aspects in mind:

  • a short cycle period with regular rotation should be used;

  • individual workers should work a few nights in succession;

  • individual workers should have some free weekends with at least two full days off;

  • short intervals between shifts should be avoided;

  • flexibility regarding shift change times and shift length is needed.


为了限制轮班工作的潜在负面影响,建议轮班制度的结构应考虑到以下方面:-

  • 应采用短周期和定期轮换的方式;

  • 个别工人应该连续工作几个晚上;

  • 个别工人应该有一些自由的周末,至少有两个完整的休息日;

  • 应避免两班之间的短暂间隔;

  • 在换班时间和换班长度方面需要有灵活性。
