“…There are many other important psychosocial aspects of the work environment that were not included in HILDA (eg, social support and bullying at work) that could also influence the relationship between disability and sickness absence. Further while classification of these psychosocial job stressors is based on previous research (27) and the use of relative measures (eg, upper quartile) is common (eg, relative poverty), future research should examine whether critical points can be identified so that absolute measures can be used (39).…”

Do gender and psychosocial job stressors modify the relationship between disability and sickness absence: An investigation using 12 waves of a longitudinal cohort by Milner A, Aitken Z, Byars S, Butterworth P, Kavanagh A This study reports that workers with disabilities may be more likely to take sickness absence. Gender and job control are important considerations in understanding these absences. Modifying working conditions may therefore reduce the likelihood of workers with disabilities taking sickness absence.

“…Psychosocial risks identified in the literature [15], including those identified by EU-OSH [16] are mentioned in Figure 4.1. Addressing psychosocial risks in terms of poor mental health, presents additional challenges due to the complexity in measuring and assessing causation of mental disorders [19]. There are different theoretical models of psychosocial risks and their effects, and the best known is the model of R.A. Karasek [20], demand-control.…”

“…This control activity relates primarily to the possibility of choosing tasks, how to do the tasks to achieve the desired results, working time and breaks. "This is particularly important to meet the demands of the workplace involving a high volume, fast pace and deadlines" [19]. "Common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety are the results of most epidemiological evidence available regarding decreased control over the activity at work" [20].…”

Abstract. The expansion of internet access, high-speed connection services, collaborative work platforms and tools, allowed employees to interact virtually offering companies the possibility to develop projects around the world, reducing operational costs and gain competitive advantage. Realizing the advantages and disadvantages of developing a project team in an international virtual work environment, requires adopting specific strategies to construct an effective team and ensure the project success. One of the most important disadvantages that we identified is that the new work environment brings new risks for both team members and managers. So, it becomes mandatory to identify and analyze the occupational emerging risks and their impact on the productivity of virtual team members, in order to prevent them efficiently and to ensure the safety and health of employees in a virtual working environment. This paper aims to highlight the necessity for project managers and organizations, to include in their specific project strategies, an efficient occupational risks management in the virtual workplace, to obtain a continuously improved virtual working environment, so to achieve a high performance from virtual employees.

“…The scope of improvement measures depends on completing an accurate and appropriate conformity assessment and identifying reasonable improvement measures (Górny, 2017). The measures undertaken to rectify any non-conformities discovered in this process must provide ways to influence occupational safety within the framework of the existing management model Górny, 2017) and help modify other factors for the effective improvement of working conditions (Górny, 2017;Kyaw-Myint et al, 2017;Rembiasz, 2017).…”

The paper discusses options for assessing risks with a view to identifying the nature and scope of the impacts of non-conformities and defining improvement opportunities. Such options are described in terms of hazards and opportunities. The opportunities reflect the measures required to increase the chances of establishing more effective safety management systems. The hazards reflect the circumstances that may prevent organizations achieving the desired benefits and that must therefore be eliminated in the course of system deployment and operation. Once identified, the above will help build the capacity to improve the existing management system in any organization that seeks to systemically modify its occupational safety system. The paper invokes the requirements set forth in ISO 45001, which it cross-references with binding legislation (including Directive 89/391/EEC). The approach helps define the benefits to be derived from assessing risks with a view to identify improvement opportunities and hazards by methods best suited to an organization’s environment.
