PSYCHOSOCIAL RISK INDICATORS ACCORDING TO THE PLACE OF JOBS
ARTÍCULO DE REVISIÓN
Keywords:
worker, safety, health, occupational risk, psychosocial riskAbstract
The present work is a bibliographic review manuscript of the psychosocial risk indicators that are present in the workers. The importance of evaluating psychosocial risks lies in the fact that their nature is intrinsically related to prolonged effects on workers if they are not adequately controlled. Workers who feel exposed to psychosocial risks, such as work overload, repetitive tasks or tasks of very short duration, excessive mental load, among others, are those who have higher percentages of responses to psychosomatic symptoms. Once the statistics on psychosocial risk factors were reviewed, we can see that they affect a significant percentage of the working population that was sampled in a study carried out by the National Institute for Safety and Hygiene at Work (España). Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate in each workplace if these factors are present in the organization, in order to guarantee the worker an adequate well-being at work, a right acquired under both national and international legal regulations. Finally, it must be considered that not all psychosocial risk factors are present in all jobs, but there are jobs where one factor may be more ingrained than another.
Keywords: worker, safety, health, occupational risk, psychosocial risk.
