Duchon, James C., Smith, Thomas J., Keran, Christopher M. and Koehler, Eric J. (1995): Psychophysiological Effects of Extended Workshifts. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 794-798.

“Working extended workshifts has been linked to decrements in behavioral performance and physiological function, plus subjective complaints. This report describes findings before and after workers in an underground mine converted from a continuous 8-hour to a 12-hour rotating shift schedule. A psychophysiological approach to work schedule evaluation was employed, involving continuous heart rate (HR) recording accompanied by pre-, mid-, and post-shift measures of cognitive and psychomotor behavioral performance, HR recovery and estimated VO{sub:2max} levels using submaximal exercise testing, and subjective mood and sleepiness responses. The continuous HR results suggest adaptation of work effort or output on 12-h relative to 8-h shifts. Some measures of performance, namely self-report mood and sleepiness responses plus HR recovery, suggest more fatigue on 12-h shifts. We conclude that working extended workshifts may result in an adaptive response to fatigue, manifest in the form of pacing or modulated work effort by the workforce.”

(1988): Designing Shift Work Systems to Improve Performance and Alertness: What Do We Know and What Do We Need to Know?. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 727-728.

“Approximately 20% of the full-time non-farm workforce in the United States is employed on work systems using schedules other than a fixed day shift of 8 (or less) hours duration. Similar world-wide estimates have been made for industrialized countries by the International Labor Office. Work schedules grouped within these systems include permanent night shift work, rotating shift work, and regular work on shifts of greater than 8 hours duration. A number of factors encourage the use of these systems: many new industrial processes require continuous staffing; the number of industrialized countries is increasing; capital equipment costs can often be reduced by increasing or changing the hours of operation; many workers are interested in a workweek of less than five days; and, there has been a general increase in the demand for around-the-clock services.”

Hudock, Stephen D. and Duchon, James C. (1988): A Safety Risk Evaluation of Vigilance Tasks in the U.S. Surface Mining Industry. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 990-994.

“Due to the labor intensive nature of mining, the health, safety and performance of miners is critical to the success of the industry. The U.S. Bureau of Mines has conducted research on accident risk associated with performance of vigilance tasks in surface mining occupations. Over one-third of all surface mining occupations were judged to require extreme to high levels of vigilance for proper task performance. Through accident data analysis of all reported mining accidents available on the Mine Safety and Health Administration accident data base for the year 1986, it was determined that the occupational accident severity level for those employed in high-vigilance surface mining jobs was about twice that for low-vigilance surface mining occupations, based on actual days lost and statutory days charged. This difference in accident severity levels was analyzed with respect to the natures of the task activity involved. It was shown that accident severity is higher for employees in high vigilance groups, even for activities that only require low vigilance to perform. These findings support the conclusion that vigilance demands in mining represent a distinct safety risk which may persist for different types of tasks and activities.”
