WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3570/96 by Freddy BLAK to the Commission. Psychological working environment  


Official Journal C 105 , 03/04/1997 P. 0087 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-3570/96 by Freddy Blak (PSE) to the Commission (17 December 1996)Subject: Psychological working environmentA doctor, Bo Netterstrøm and a sociologist, Tage Søndergaard Kristensen, have produced a research report commissioned by the Danish Working Environment Foundation, one of the conclusions of which is that there is a connection between the psychological working environment and health. The report documents a direct connection between the psychological working environment and actual effects on health. It mentions, for example, a connection between cardiospasms and workload.In the light of this report, does the Commission intend to take any action in this area and what is its attitude towards this situation?Answer given by Mr Flynn on behalf of the Commission (30 January 1997)Directive 89/391/EEC on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work ((OJ L 183, 29.6.1989. )) requires employers to develop a coherent overall preventive policy which covers technology, organisation of work, working conditions, social relationships and the influence of the factors related to the working environment.At the request of the Commission, the advisory committee on safety, hygiene and health at work set up an ad hoc group to consider the issue of work-related stress. Professor Tage Kristensen participated in the work of the group. The group's report was adopted by the advisory committee at its plenary meeting in November 1996.The Commission is now considering the report to see how its recommendations, which include the development of guidance, can most effectively be taken forward.
