Preventing Psychosocial Risks

Nearly one in three of Europe's workers, more than 40 million people, report that they are affected by stress at work. It's responsible for millions of lost working days every year. The figures speak for themselves, but far too many victims suffer in silence and too many companies don't realise the extent to which stress can affect their business performance.

That's why this year's European Week for Safety and Health at Work is focusing on the prevention of psychosocial risks and the stress they cause.
