This publication mainly deals with the question of long term adjustment to shift work and the possibility to prevent adverse effects. Special stress is laid on newer aspects such as shiftwork combined with other occupational and environmental hazards and working irregular hours. Topics of interest are future problems with reduction of working hours and introduction of new technologies, the different handling of shift work for women in different countries as well as intervention studies, proposals and recommendations to alleviate shiftwork.
