incoming light. When, there is less light, such as at night or in darkness, the SCN
directs the brain to produce more melatonin, so you get drowsy or sleepy. Melatonin,
which is vital to the suppression of tumours, is released at night. Light shuts down
melatonin production, so being exposed to artificial light at night could lead to a
melatonin deficiency.
Disruption of the circadian rhythm is linked to various sleep disorders such as
insomnia, disrupted sleep-wake cycles and insufficient hours of sleep. Disrupted
circadian rhythms are also associated with depression, bipolar disorder and seasonal
affective disorder. Night shift work can cause disruption to the circadian rhythms.
Basically the night workers are working at night, and they are not sleeping when their
body tells they should be. Conversely when we try to go to sleep during the day it is
not easy as the circadian rhythm is telling us that we should be awake and this is
supported by cues such as daylight and normal daytime external environmental
activities such as traffic and noise, which make it more difficult to sleep. Our internal
body clocks can change gradually but are resistant to abrupt changes brought on by
night and shift work. Nor will they ever fully adjust, even for those workers on
permanent night shifts. Such workers may sleep during the day when they are on
their rest period between shifts but on days off their body clocks will attempt to reset
to normal circadian rhythms. The end result of disruption of the circadian rhythms is
loss of sleep and disturbed sleep, which both lead to fatigue.
Sleeping difficulties
We all need proper sleep in order to wake up refreshed and energised for the days
activities. Sleeping is restorative both physically and mentally. It allows the body to
recover from the days exertions, be they physical or cognitive activities. People who have
problems sleeping can become anxious and worried when they lie awake. They may get
some broken periods of sleep but when they get up they are still tired and lack energy.
Insufficient sleep is associated with tiredness leading to accidents and errors as the body
and mind are out of tune with their environment. Because of our circadian rhythms and
external cues such as sunlight, temperature, voices, traffic, family and domestic
responsibilities, it is much more difficult to get a proper sleep of sufficient duration without
interruptions during daylight hours.
This lack of sleep leads to sleep debt whereby the body knows it has had insufficient
sleep and although we can cope with this temporarily, eventually when working at night,
we will feel a deep need of sleep and may fall asleep on the job despite other external
cues. Sleep deprivation affects our ability to think and concentrate and can lead to

leads to poor performance resulting in errors and accidents. These can be a mixture of
minor and major incidents. Fatigue is a major contributory factor in road traffic accidents.
Who has not experienced the feeling of nodding off while driving but luckily regaining
alertness just in time? Fatigue, night work and shift work arrangements have been found
to be contributory factors to such incidents.

Occupational Health and Safety Management
Health and safety in hospitals is an effort to provide health insurance and improve the
health of the workers or workers on how to prevent accidents and occupational diseases,
control of hazards in the workplace, health promotion, treatment and rehabilitation.
activities in the areas of education and research, as well as the methods used more
and more variety. All that activities can lead to increase risk level of danger in the
hospital. Therefore, safety working at the hospital should be taken seriously by safety
organizations hospital.
Organizing
Organization's safety and health of hospitals can be formed in several levels,
ranging from area (region) level to the central or national hospital level. Government
involvement in the organization, either directly or indirectly is needed. The
government can put individual officials within the organization at the central level
(national) and regional level (region), in addition to imposing Undang-Undang
Keselamatan Kerja. At the local level (region) and central (national) need to be
established the Employment Security Commission hospital or institution whose on
duties and responsibilities are may include:
a. Formulating guidelines outline job security hospital.
b. Providing guidance, counseling, training executor's job security hospital.
c. Monitoring the implementation of occupational safety guidelines for hospitals.

organizations can also set up an independent body that serves as an advisory body
or a committee of Trustees Occupational Health and Hospitals.
Actuating
Implementation or actuating functions is encouraging morale activities, exerting
activity, coordinating the various activities that will be compact activity (synchronous),
so that all activities in accordance with a predetermined plan. Implementation of
health and safety programs hospitals/health institutions target the workplace is safe
and healthy. For that every individual who works in the hospital and community/health
agencies must know and understand all the things that are expected to be a source of
occupational injuries in the hospital, as well as have the ability and knowledge to
implement prevention and control of occupational accidents are. Then comply with
the various rules or regulations in handling specimens and reagents tools. If the
implementation of the actuating function raised the question, doubt or disagreement,
then it is the duty of all to take the settlement decision.
Controlling
Oversight function is the activities that try to get the jobs done in accordance with
established plans or desired results. To be able to exercise oversight, to note two
fundamental principles, are namely:
a. There are planning activities.
b. There are instructions and granting authority to subordinates.
In the supervisory function is not less important is the need for socialization of
discipline, comply with all safety regulations for hospitals or the health agencies.
Socialization needs to be done continuously, due to prevention efforts that however
well the danger would be in vain if the rules are ignored. In the hospital, should be
