On the occasion of the European Week for Safety and Health at Work, from October 21 to 25, the Ile de France health observatory used data from the 2010 INPES barometer to draw up a report. health of employees in the region. As a result, working in Ile-de-France is more tiring than in other regions.
Of the 829 Ile-de-France residents questioned about their working conditions, it appears that transport time is not unrelated to the state of fatigue shared by the majority.
31.9% of employed workers declare a daily commuting time of 1 to 2 hours to make the return trip between home and work. Men spend more time on average than women in public transport.
They are 47.7% to work between 36 and 47 hours per week while people living outside Île-de-France are more often at 35 hours per week or part-time.
4.8% of Ile-de-France employees work at least 50 nights a year, nearly 22% do shift work and more than 40% work in difficult postures.
Too heavy work objectives
Psychological pressure also contributes to the nervous fatigue of Ile-de-France residents. The observatory shows that 36% of them struggle to meet the objectives or deadlines set by their company. They also suffer from a lack of support (22% of them) and 43.5% encounter situations of tension with the public.
Physical strain and poor sleep
These working conditions affect the employee health francilians. Nearly 7 in ten Ile-de-France residents say they are nervously tired. If the nervous fatigue is there, it manifests itself less on the physical level than in other regions. Indeed, physical hardship is less in Ile-de-France than in the rest of France. This difference is certainly explained by the different work structures between Paris and the provinces.
Finally, the work rubs off on the quality of sleep in Ile-de-France in the same proportions as elsewhere (less than 30% have difficulty sleeping).
