I wondered that too.

Especially now that compensation is actually being paid over an issue that only MAY increase the likelihood of cancers. Not even any evidence yet and they're already handing over the compo.

I work regular night shifts, and the only increased risk of cancer I can think of would be due to the extra Marlboro breaks taken whilst trying to kill the boredom during the quiet times before the first rotation.

All these people bleating on about lack of sunlight, ergo lack of Vitamin D etc... Don't you have days off? What do they do, keep you in a box and bring you out for your shift? Spend more of your free time outdoors!
