aprovado para a Conferência Europeia da EUROSHNET - 5th European Conference on

The impact
of psychosocial risks in the quality of workplace health is now widely
acknowledged as a priority in health and safety in Europe. European industrial
tissue is mainly constituted by SME’s with a special focus on micro
enterprises. Due to its uniqueness (when compared with big multinational
companies) the approach must be tailored and grounded on the reality. We will
analyze and discuss the main constrains within psychosocial risks management
grounded on the PDCA (plan-do-check-act) approach present on ISO/CEN/BSI (and
other) standards, and the role of standardization for the process
internalization within SME’s. It will be addressed questions related to the concept,
assessment, uniqueness, intervention, evaluation, expertise, action plan
drawing, stakeholders and others.
On the
basis of the current work an action plan for managing psychosocial risks and
promoting healthy SME’s is proposed with a link to a value-based sustainable
perspective for the industry.
