Recently, according to the successful case of 38 females who encounter breast cancer to attain the highest compensation, about 1 million DK (about 181 thousands dollars), cancers patients' group, researches and trade unions start to research the association between cancer and night shift working. And Denmark's National Injuries Board has confirmed this compensational case, it discovered 38 females had to work in night more than once in 20 years.
International Agency of Research on Cancer (IARC) obtained from a review of recent research: nigh shift working disrupt the circadian rhythm in the body of persons, as vital hormone that can inhibite the development of cancer, the secretion of melatonin will decline because of night shift working. "It is likely to cause cancer because shift work can disrupt the circadian rhythm", that is the result of report.
As the same as creosote, diesel exhaust, anabolic steroids, sun lamps and chemicals including lead, night shift working is considered risky mark. The entire article of IARC report will be published later this year. Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre in Austrian warned, a few of researches pointed out, "In limited groups of females...experience the shift working for 20 year or more...the risk of suffering from breast will have a small rise", the result in researches were inconsistent, and a few of them, "perhaps exist prejudice and confusion".
Grete Christensen, the deputy president of Danish Nurses' Organization said:" Now you can attain the compensation as nigh shift working, just like along with the toxic chemicals in a part of factories." There are seven members of this group have gotten the compensation. Comprising of Netherlands, Belgium and the UK and other European nations are studying the connection between the nigh shift working and breast cancer, and possible to provide the reasonable compensation.
Cancer Society of Finland proposed, there will publish a report about relationship of working and cancer in Nordic countries, will add more evidence to prove shift working is linked to breast cancer, no matter the male or female. For this problem, Laurent Vogel, performer of the health and safety department of the European Trade Union Confederation's Institute said "It is crucial to diminish the nigh shift working from the view of society or technology...not only consider the aspect of profitability."
Only last year Denmark's National Injuries Board has accepted 38 women to get compensation, account for over 50%. This organization showed, once the whole article of IARC report publish, nigh shift working will be recorded as the scope of occupational disease, accelerate approval of pay-outs. It has stimulated the adjustment of relating policy for a few of employers according to this decision in Denmark.
The major air company SAS of Nordic countries, has taken measure while a Danish stewardesses obtained the compensation because breast cancer. This stewardesses has serviced for SAS since 20 years ago. "Every crew member has the option to decide to fly long-haul if she or he feels uncomfortable", said SAS.
There still has doubt with the night shift working and cancer, but overall the night shift working is harm to health whatever the need of working or private habits. Night shift working obstructs the secretion of melatonin, reduce the ability that defense the potential cancer cell, result in the rate of suffering from cancer rise.
On the other hand, nigh shift working is going to disrupt the normal rhythm of body, is easy to cause dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system. Additionally, while body immunity drop, night shift working also is a factor that can not be neglected, the function of internal organs will be unbalanced, harm to the stomach and intestines, increase burden to heart, make the risk of cardiovascular disease rise, then make people easy to suffer from insomnia.
