Et Tidsskifte for AS Oslo Sporveier. Evaluering av Forsok med ny Skiftordning for Forerne i Sporvogns og Banedivisjonen (Changing Times for AS Oslo Sporveier. Evaluation of triels with New Shift Systems for Dirvers in the Tram and Metro Division).

摘要

In 2000, the parties in AS Oslo Sporveier agreed to carry out trials with a new shift system for drivers in the tram and metro division. The basis for the measure was a joint concern for drivers' sick leave, early retirement and other health issues connected to traditional shift work. The goal for the parties in AS Oslo Sporveier was to develop more health-friendly shift systems with the help of three tools: (1) working hours should become more equal and more evenly distributed across the working week; (2) drivers should to a larger degree be awarded completely free weekends by swapping shifts in connection to the non-work sequences; and (3) the shift period should not work counter to the human body's biological clock. The latter entails the abolishment of backwards rotated shifts. The change in the shift system was implemented on 5 November 2001, and the Institute of Transport Economics (TOI) was asked to evaluate this one year later. The report is built around three main questions: (1) what affects job satisfaction amongst AS Oslo Sporveier's drivers; (2) what affects the level of job-related absence from work; (3) how has the new shift system affected job satisfaction and absence factors, which result from questions 1 and 2 above.
