The Investigation — The Night Shift

Ken Macdonald looks at how working nights can affect your health, and Graham Stewart takes your calls.

Has working nights given you health problems?

Anyone who's ever worked a night shift will probably tell you that it isn't good for you. But just how bad is it? The Danish government has started paying compensation to women who developed breast cancer after working at night thanks to a decision by the World Health Organisation to list night work as a probable carcinogen. It raises the question of whether Scottish night workers are being well-enough protected. For ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland, Ken Macdonald has been investigating "The Night Shift".

Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
