Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the two previous waves (2009 and 2014), the third European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER 2019) collected responses from 45,420 establishments across all business size classes and activity sectors in 33 countries, comprising the EU-27 as well as Iceland, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. ESENER is established as a leading monitoring tool for the management of occupational safety and health (OSH) in Europe. It is a go-to source for European and national policy-makers when key evidence is needed to inform policy-making or the approach to further research. These results are published at a time when there is a vital need to reinforce the approach to OSH management. The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly transformed the working environment, demanding a re-evaluation of the risks that workers face and the adoption of measures tailored to new circumstances.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Main objectives of the study The main objective of this study was to examine how companies, and in particular micro and small enterprises (MSEs) manage psychosocial risks to better understand what works in managing these risks. The more specific aims of this study were to: - Complement the Third European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER 2019) survey results by producing additional information that helps explore the ways in which psychosocial risk management is organised in MSEs and the reasons and motivations for this, including what works. - Provide information, as far as possible, about how psychosocial risk management is shaped by the context in which establishments operate. This can include elements such as national context, economic factors and job-related issues. - Help define typologies of establishments according to the way psychosocial risks are managed at workplace level.

Download or read book Human Health and Social Work Activities written by and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European human health and social work activities sector is a key sector in terms of ensuring the health and wellbeing of Europe's citizens, including its workforce. The human health and social work activities sector is one of the largest in Europe, employing around 11% of workers in the European Union according to 2020 figures from Eurostat1. A significant proportion of workers in the sector are employed in hospitals, although they also work in other workplaces, such as nursing and care homes, medical practices and in other health-related activity areas, as well as in patients' own homes. Workers in this sector are exposed to a wide range of risks to their health and wellbeing. This diversity of risks for those working in this sector provides further justification for the selection of this sector for further analysis of the available ESENER data relating to this sector. The main risks include: biological risks, which include any form of exposure to biological agents such as blood-transmitted pathogens and infectious micro-organisms, and which also include risks related to COVID-19; chemical risks, including among others from drugs used in the treatment of cancer and from disinfectants; physical risks, such as from noise, slips, trips and falls, and ionising radiation; ergonomic risks, for example lifting during patient handling; and psychosocial risks, which include third-party violence and harassment, exposure to traumatic events, high workload, dealing with people at the end of their lives, the need to multitask, shift work, lone working, burnout, internal mobbing/bullying and lack of control over work. Given the importance of this sector and the specific occupational safety and health (OSH) risks that its workers face, the main aims of this study were to analyse data from the three waves of the ESENER surveys (2009, 2014 and 2019) to gain an overview of trends over time in the areas of OSH management in general, psychosocial risks in particular, drivers and barriers to OSH management in the sector and worker participation in OSH. The overall objective of this study was to provide information that helps to explore the ways in which OSH management is organised in this sector and the reasons and motivations behind this. It also aimed to provide information about how OSH management is shaped by the context in which establishments in the sector operate.

Download or read book Managing Psychosocial Hazards and Work Related Stress in Today s Work Environment written by Ellen Pinkos Cobb and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s evolving world of work makes it imperative for employers to manage psychosocial hazards (PSH) and risks leading to work-related stress. This book contains essential, general, and country-specific information and templates for the successful management of hazards to prevent psychological harm in the workplace. Acknowledged as global issues affecting all workers and industries, PSH are work factors that have the potential to lead to physical or psychological injury and stress, relating to how work is designed, organized, and managed, and to work relationships and interactions. This book advances the idea that management of PSH, and psychological health and safety, is part of the duty of care of today’s responsible and ethical employers to employees, and that U.S. employers should recognize this responsibility. Clear and easy to follow, this guide presents comprehensive information on addressing PSH, discussing measures taken internationally (laws, guidance, and resources from Europe, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Japan), and a new global standard on psychological health and safety at work. (Note: At times within this book, and Part II in particular, punctuation may be added to quoted provisions for ease of reading and for consistency.) Practitioners and students in the fields of management, occupational health and safety, human resource management, ethics and compliance, occupational health psychology, and organizational psychology will come away with a deeper understanding of the importance of PSH and their management.
