European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA)

Press Release 26 September 2012

Dealing with psychosocial risks: success factors and obstacles

http://osha.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/dealing_psychosocial_risks_success_factors_obstacles

Most European companies still don’t have procedures for managing workplace stress and other psychosocial risks, despite the increasing threat that they pose to Europe’s workers. This situation is explored in two new reports from the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA), which look at the reasons why, with 79% of managers in the EU being concerned about stress at work, and 40% concerned with workplace harassment and violence, 74% of European businesses still do not have procedures in place to deal with these issues.
