Better understanding
Psychosocial risks arise from:
- poor work design, organisation and management
- unfavourable social context of work
Work-related stress:
- is an organisational issue, not an individual fault
- occurs when demands at work are beyond
the worker’s capacity to cope with them

Managing psychosocial risks
Despite its sensitive nature, stress and psychosocial risks at work
can be successfully reduced and dealt with in the same logical
and systematic way as other OSH issues
Tackling stress in the workplace leads to improved worker
wellbeing and better organisational performance
Leadership and worker participation is crucial to tackle
psychosocial risks and work-related stress effectively
