Complete absence records of 782 shift workers in one factory have been studied before and after a change From a continuous seven day `traditional' rota to a rapidly continental' rota. A comparison between a twelve month period before the change and a similar period afterwards showed a rise in certified sickness absence of 36 per cent, in uncertified sickness absence of 29 per cent arid a fall in absence for reasons other than sickness of 2 per cent. Certified sickness of the insured population in that part of England rose by only 8 per cent. Sickness absence commenced most frequently on the night shift tinder both systems but this became even more marked for uncertified sickness after the change. These results suggest that social acceptability should not be the only factor considered when a change of system is contemplated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
