Working night shift is considered to be what type of duty?

1. Low risk

2. High risk

3. Medium risk

4. No risk

The correct answer is: Low risk

Working night shift is often seen as a high risk duty due to potential health concerns related to sleep disruption and disruption of the body's natural rhythms. While there may be some occupations that are considered medium or low risk when working night shifts, the majority of professions classify it as a high risk duty. Choosing option B, C, or D may provide a somewhat accurate answer, but it does not fully encompass the overall understanding of the level of risk associated with working night shifts. Additionally, choosing options B or C may also suggest that these duties are not as significant or harmful, which is not necessarily true. So while there may be some level of risk associated with working night shifts, it is most commonly considered a high risk duty.
