OK is this substance detection ? There is a study to be conducted regarding the effects of shift work in critical areas and the circadian cycle, maybe this is a not too clearly explained reason ? Interesting, please keep us updated as we went through a similar application in the early 70s for Flt Ops folks after the conclusion of Bader / implementation of CAP371 for Air Crew. Good luck:ok:

if you take a look at the direct.gov web page ...it says that your employer should offer you a free health check, but you do not have to except it.
it also tells you that a night shift is deemed to be in the hours between 11pm and 6 am........lots of interesting stuff on there,have a look
It's not substance abuse detection it's a full blown medical lasting 40-50mins:eek:
Will advise soonest any news
