Improving Psychosocial Risk Management Process in Safety and Health at Work Considering Combinations of Dangerous Factors
Abstract
Purpose: The study aims to develop an improved psychosocial risk management process by analyzing possible combinations of dangerous psychosocial factors within and between groups, including workplace relationships, military activities, and domestic troubles.
Method: a bow-tie model.
Findings: An improved model of psychosocial risk management has been developed, taking into account the impact of combinations of eight groups of psychosocial risks on the occurrence of a dangerous event.
Theoretical implications: The relationship between the level of psychosocial risk and the most dangerous factors has been established, which is determined taking into account three parameters – frequency, duration, and intensity of stress experiences, which are assessed based on a survey of employees on a ten-point scale.
Papertype: practical.
