Contents: The effective assessment of several alternative shift rotas depends mainly on the subjective experience and attitude of the assessor. To make the process of selection more objective, a procedure to assess shift systems was developed. According to this procedure, shift systems can be compared by means of 14 criteria concerning the family and social life of shiftworkers, as well as their well-being and health problems. The criteria have been derived from results of shiftwork studies, and are weighted according to their importance. The assessment of every shift system is summed up in one total numerical value obtained from the numerical values of the 14 criteria. The procedure for determining the values of the 14 criteria is given in a catalogue.
