Night Workers

You are a night worker if, as a normal course, you spend at least 3 hours of your working day working at night time:

• 'Night time' is the period between 11pm and 6am

• 'As a normal course' means on the majority of your working days

As a night worker, you will undertake regular health assessments to assess whether or not any medical conditions you may have are a concern in relation to night work. There will also be a risk assessment completed.

As a night worker, you are limited to an average of working eight hours in each 24-hour period. The standard averaging period is 17 weeks. Young Workers, those under the age of 18, must not be permitted to work night shifts.
