overnight
various people have got bits of it, but to pull it all together:
astreinte = on-call
interventions = call-out
When I did this long ago, we got about 20 quid for being on-call per night, then time & a half for each hour or part of an hour we had to go into work (call out).
I would think that the "de nuit" applies to both here, but to be safe, you could just put something along the lines of "the terms and conditions for being on-call and overnight call-out"

: "graveyard" is a little slangy, in my opinion... if the entire text is as official-sounding as the sentence provided, I'd use "night (whatever)"; FYI, the informal equivalent for the evening shift is "swing shift"

: There is a "gaveyard shift", but this is not shift work. This is being called upon to do something at night. (Work, that is,)

"de nuit" has to apply solely to "interventions" in my opinion, "astreinte" referring to any kind of "roster duty", being "on call", be it by day, night, weekend, etc.
1 hr
night interventions
since a different rate normally applies to such night work - which is not quite the same as night shift
the first one (night intervention) usually means calls during the night because there is a problem, while night shift is a standard shift at night
