7. WORKING TIME FOR NIGHT AND SHIFT WORKERS

There is no specific health and safety legislation on shift working in the UK but the main Working Time Regulations (WTR) place specific limits of some night workers, while providing for health assessments and transfer from night work. There are similar provisions in sector-specific regulations for road transport RTR and Cross Border Railways CBR regulations, and other working time rules. Young workers are not ordinarily supposed to work at night (although there are exceptions to this).
