Abstract: Preventing the hyper-fatigue of shift workers for working too long is an inevitable requirement for ensuring the safety and efficiency of railway transportation production. In this paper, according to the problems related to shift working hours system, by studying the evolution of railway working hours and shift system and the relevant policy provisions of working hours system, the actual working time standards of different shift workers in railways were given, and the measurement principle of working hours and shifts of railway shift employees was explored. And examples were given to explain the determination and grading of labor intensity, measures were put forward to ensure intermittent time during shift work, and the effect of intermittent time during shift work to ensure safe production were illuminated. The results show that: taking full advantage of the intermittent time during shift work can effectively reduce the fatigue of employees, promote safe production and improve labor efficiency. By reforming production organizations, optimizing labor organizations, and using advanced technologies and advanced equipment such as advanced equipment, we can improve the utilization of working hours and ensure the implementation of intermittent time.

Key words: man- hour, shift system, intermittent time, fatigue level, labor safety
