The section on Work Schedules includes information on health and safety hazards and basic recommendations for designing working schedules different from the most common 9 to 5 pattern. Additionally, in the future it will cover other issues related to work patterns such as overtime, flextime, part time, etc.

Descriptions of some other databases and publications (e.g., the ILO Encyclopaedia of Occupational Health and Safety in print and on the Web) that can provide you with additional information on work schedules (shift work, compressed work weeks, extended work days, etc.) are accessible by going to the Products & Services - Info Resources and Referrals web page.
