[Research experiences five years after the publication of the INAIL methodology for the assessment and management of work-related stress risk]
Abstract
In the last decade there have been several developments in European Union in recognizing the relevance of psychosocial risks, particularly as regard to work-related stress, resulting in novelties at policy level and in the development of practical solutions for managing such risk. The current national legislative framework on occupational health and safety establishes the obligation of assessing work-related stress risk in companies, in accordance to the European Framework Agreement of 2004, and provides the minimum legal requirements. Research experiences in this field contributed to develop and increase the existing methodological processes, also to verify the effectiveness and to identify needs related to sectors and context particularly at risk. Among the others, findings from the Project "Monitoring and intervention for improving the assessment and management of work-related stress" contributed to the development of management models and intervention strategies to face and prevent the work-related stress risk.
