Night Shift is a series that looks at life on the clock, around the clock. For some people, like Mohammad Ali who works at the all-hours corner shop Hasty Market, the night shift is a great gig. Night workers can face everything from armed robberies on the job to an increased risk of cancer. Both WorksafeBC and the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, two groups that monitor workers' safety, both say they are increasingly watchful of conditions for shift workers. And for good reason: studies show a heightened cancer risk for nurses and pilots who work shift work, for example, and other health impacts.
