Factsheet 23 - Bullying at work
The Agency is producing a series of fact sheets to help tackle workrelated stress (WRS) and some of its key triggers. Bullying is highly associated with WRS. This fact sheet gives information and suggestions for those wanting to take practical action to tackle bullying at work. The further information section at the end gives detail on Agency sources of assistance, including other fact sheets in this series. Bullying at work constitutes a significant problem in the European work force. The costs are considerable for both the worker and the organisation. Moreover, bullying should be regarded as unethical, oppressive behaviour and therefore unacceptable in the work environment. Prevention of bullying at work is one of the objectives in the Communication from the European Commission on the new strategy on health and safety at work.

In 2009, EU-OSHA carried out the first Europe-wide establishment survey on health and safety at the workplace, the European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER).
Following on from the initial analysis presented in the descriptive overview report in 2010, four secondary analysis projects have been carried out in 2011. This report focuses on management of safety and health at work, examining how practices vary across Europe depending on, for example, establishment size, location and sector.
Occupational safety and health culture, or more briefly 'OSH culture', can be seen as a concept for exploring how informal organisational aspects influence OSH in a positive or negative way. The aim is to convey up-to-date information on this complex topic in a straightforward, condensed way, trying to build a bridge between research and practice. The main approaches and methods that exist to assess the safety culture in an organisation are presented and discussed. This review gives an overview and selection of useful tools and techniques from the EU domain and abroad.
Mental health promotion (MHP) includes all the actions that contribute to good mental health. Its primary aim is to focus on what maintains and improves our mental wellbeing. It is important to highlight that optimally effective MHP should include a combination of both risk management and health promotion. In this good practice report you can find information on how to integrate MHP into a comprehensive approach to enhancing and promoting the health, safety and wellbeing of employees at work. Several of the case studies are particularly interesting because of their innovative and creative approaches.
