Description
Summary:"The living conditions and well-being of workers are influenced not only by safety and health at work, but also by other psychosocial factors such as labour relations and organisation. The most recent and specific provisions on this subject show that inappropriate behaviour and psychosocial load cannot be separated: violence, harassment and sexual harassment at work comprise an integral part of any psychosocial load. To help the reader understand these regulations, this brochure first describes the concept of psychosocial load at work. The various elements for the introduction of a prevention policy are discussed in detail. The resources available to people who feel that they are experiencing an adverse psychosocial loading at work are also included. The brochure is concluded with a list of useful resources and addresses."
