ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Shiftworkers can face serious health and wellbeing issues as a result of their non-standard work commitments. The Healthy from the Start project set out to develop tailored, engaging information for young shiftworkers (18-25 years) on sleep, nutrition, and physical activity – three pillars of health that are significantly impacted by shiftwork. While this information was developed for young adults, it will apply to many shiftworkers, regardless of their age. The Healthy from the Start team hope this information will empower shiftworkers to look after their health and wellbeing, despite their challenging schedules.
The Healthy from the Start project wouldn’t have been possible without the expertise of the shiftworkers, workplace health and safety experts, science communications specialists, and creatives, who contributed to developing the Healthy Shiftwork website, as well as the information and resources that it houses.
The Healthy from the Start team also wish to acknowledge the project funders, including:
