53Therefore, in the light of the greater burden associated with night work as compared with day work, the reduction of the normal length of night work in relation to that of day work may be an appropriate solution with a view to ensuring the protection of the health and safety of the workers concerned, even though that is not the only possible solution. Depending on the nature of the activity concerned, granting additional rest periods or periods of free time, for example, could also contribute to the protection of the health and safety of those workers.
