What are the implications for workplace safety because of the number of people working multiple jobs?\u00a0<span id=\"more-20701\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d expect this might cause greater fatigue among these workers. Now a new <a title=\"Differences in time use and activity patterns when ...\" href=\"https:\/\/ajph.aphapublications.org\/doi\/pdf\/10.2105\/AJPH.2014.301921\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> confirms it.<\/p>\n<p>The study by the Center for Injury Epidemiology at the Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety shows large differences in time use patterns for multiple-job-holders (MJHs) compared with single-job-holders (SJHs).<\/p>\n<p>The authors conclude MJHs may be at greater risk for fatigue compared with SJHs because MJHs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>work more work hours per week<\/li>\n<li>have longer daily commute times, and<\/li>\n<li>have less sleep and leisure time left in the week to recover.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a previous study, Liberty Mutual found MJHs\u00a0had a higher risk of injury than SJHs. Two other studies have confirmed this higher risk.<\/p>\n<h2>Lack of scheduling guidelines<\/h2>\n<p>The science of\u00a0human <a title=\"What\u2019s better for safety: Daytime or split sleep schedules?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.safetynewsalert.com\/whats-better-for-safety-daytime-or-split-sleep-schedules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Circadian Rhythms<\/a> and fatigue has helped businesses that operate on more than one daytime\u00a0shift effectively <a title=\"1 in 3 workers don\u2019t get enough sleep\" href=\"https:\/\/www.safetynewsalert.com\/1-in-3-workers-dont-get-enough-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">schedule workers<\/a> so they experience the least amount of sleep disruption.<\/p>\n<p>But this new study notes that most of these scheduling guidelines operate under\u00a0the assumption that workers have only one job.<\/p>\n<p>The current research also shows the most likely age group to work more than one job is 18-24.<\/p>\n<p>More than 25 years ago, I was at the upper end of that age group. I decided one year to attempt to supplement my meager journalistic earnings with a holiday-season retail job. I worked 42 hours a week at my news job, six days a week, and about 25 hours a week spread over five days at the retail job. For a three-month period, I worked seven days a week with only Thanksgiving and Christmas off.<\/p>\n<p>What I remember most about that period was not having enough time to spend with family and friends, or to thoroughly clean my apartment.<\/p>\n<p>What I don\u2019t remember is feeling particularly fatigued. It\u2019s a wonderful thing about youth: You bounce back more easily. That and the nature of the two jobs helped: sedentary editor work, and retail duties kept me on my feet, but never got more strenuous than stocking shelves with clothing items.<\/p>\n<p>I also didn\u2019t have a lot of responsibilities outside of my jobs (single, no kids).<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t imagine doing that and trying to raise kids.<\/p>\n<p>But having two jobs and other life responsibilities has\u00a0become much more common today than it was 25 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>So this Liberty Mutual study is a wake-up call to safety pros: Your employees may be more fatigued today because of factors outside of your workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, as noted above, there\u2019s little or no advice regarding what to do, except this old proverb: Forewarned is forearmed.<\/p>\n<p>That goes both for safety pros and workers. You can\u2019t stop employees from having second jobs. But you can <a title=\"New study: Ways night workers can stay alert and safe\" href=\"https:\/\/www.safetynewsalert.com\/new-study-ways-night-workers-can-stay-alert-and-safe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">educate them<\/a> about the dangers of fatigue, particularly in safety-sensitive jobs. If they\u2019re so worn out that they fear falling asleep on the job, they have to feel able to let you know about it without fear of repercussions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.safetynewsalert.com\/study-people-working-more-than-one-job-at-greater-risk-for-fatigue\/\">Article retrieved from\u00a0Safetynewsalert.com <\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Related Workplace Stress Training DVDs:<\/h2>\n<div id=\"images_hz\">\n<h3>Workplace Stress Safety Meeting DVD Kit<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atlantictraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/large_464_workplace_stress1-1.jpg\" alt=\"fatigue\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/> Helps employees identify potentially stressful situations and learn how to cope with them.
