这篇论文总结了将长时间工作与对工人、家庭、雇主和社区的广泛风险联系起来的研究。从理论上讲，这些风险源于从工作中恢复的时间较少，暴露在工作场所危险中的时间较长，以及处理非工作职责的时间较少。工人面临的风险包括睡眠不足、工作恢复不佳、神经认知和生理功能减退、疾病、不良生殖后果和伤害。家庭面临的风险包括延迟结婚和生育，以及儿童肥胖。雇主面临的风险包括生产率下降和工人失误增加。疲惫的工人犯下的错误对社区有广泛的影响：医疗错误、在道路上与其他司机相撞的汽车事故，以及破坏环境的工业灾难。
The paper summarizes research linking long work hours to a wide range of risks to workers, families, employers, and the community. The risks are theorized to stem from less time to recover from work, longer exposure to workplace hazards, and less time to attend to non-work responsibilities. Risks to workers include sleep deprivation, poor recovery from work, decrements in neuro-cognitive and physiological functioning, illnesses, adverse reproductive outcomes, and injuries. Risks to families include delayed marriages and child bearing, and obesity in children. Risks to employers include reduced productivity and increases in workers errors. Mistakes by fatigued workers have broad reaching impacts to the community: medical errors, automobile crashes with other drivers on the road, and industrial disasters that damage the environment.
