Working long hours can greatly increase the risk of suffering injury or illness, a recent study says. Workers who do overtime were 61% more likely to become hurt or ill, once factors such as age and gender were taken into account. And working more than 12 hours a day raised the risk by more than a third, the University of Massachusetts found. Report co-author Allard Dembe said, “Risk increased with longer working hours, not just in dangerous jobs, in all types of work.”

最近一项研究显示：长时间工作会大大增加受伤和患病的危险。如果把年龄和性别等诸因素都考虑进去的话，加班工作的员工受伤或生病的可能性会增加61%。马萨诸塞州州立大学的研究发现，如果一天工作超过12个小时的话，出现危险情况的可能性会提高1/3以上。该研究报告的作者之一阿拉德·登贝说：“长时间工作危害增加，并不单指那些本身有危险的职业，所有行业都是如此。”
