Presented in conjunction with the 2015 Northwest Occupational Health Conference (NOHC) hosted by the Pacific Northwest Section – American Industrial Hygiene Association (PNS-AIHA)

We live in a world that never stops. According to NIOSH, almost 15 million Americans work evening, night, or rotating shifts, or other irregular schedules. Shift work is necessary to fulfill essential services such as emergency services, hospital services, transportation, manufacturing, and more. It is recognized that fatigue and lack of sleep can contribute to accidents, and because of this, many industries, such as transit, place limits on consecutive hours that an employee can work. In addition, interruption of light cycles and circadian rhythms disrupt biological systems, leading to increased negative health outcomes such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. IARC recognizes shift work as a probable human carcinogen (Group 2A).

This short course will cover the science of circadian rhythms and physiological impacts of shift work, as well as practical solutions and challenges in maintaining worker health while serving the 24/7 economy.

Dr. Shea’s research focuses primarily on the effect of circadian rhythms and sleep disorders on human disease and how this

interplays with the effects of shift work. Shift work, when behaviors occur at unusual circadian phases, is related to increased prevalence of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. the goal of Dr. Shea’s research is to understand the biological basis behind changes in disease severity across day and night and to understand the physiological and adverse health effects of shift work. Dr. Shea received his PhD in Physiology from the university of london and has conducted research in the field for more than 27 years at the Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School at the university of london, Harvard Schools of Medicine and Public Health, and the Oregon Health Sciences university.
