| Popis: | Night work has been discussed in occupational health because of the potential risk to the worker and its impact on accident rates. While any worker can perform legal exceptions and preventive demands do exist, highlighting those derived from the health surveillance, mandatory in this case, and usually with annual periodicity. References in night work in Spain are Directive 2003/88/EC, the Workers’ Statute, the Act on Prevention of Occupational Risks and the Royal Decree for Prevention Services. In the scientific literature (Pubmed), studies relating night work to various health problems, including neoplasia, are found but without sufficient scientific evidence. The legal debate (Westlaw Insignis) is focused on exceptional situations: minors, pregnant or breastfeeding women and particularly sensitive workers. A greater understanding of this issue will facilitate the prevention of damages and prevent medicolegal problems. |
