Psychosocial Risks: indicators that warn

We bring today one of our good practice guides perhaps less known, although no less useful. Among the 15 guides of good practices that we have carried out in collaboration with Prevencontrol, this guide called Good Practices in Psychosocial Risks, seems relevant to us at this time of pandemic fatigue. In this case, what we are going to talk about is the indicators that warn, we are prevention technicians, we must focus on detecting these indicators to be able to act before having problems, the guide says it clearly: in order to discover these precursors we need to know ourselves, know the organization, know the mistakes made, those that have caused us to fall previously, so that we learn as an organization. Practical example: If every time we eat chocolate, our eyes begin to hurt and continue with a migraine, we will know that we should avoid chocolate no matter how much we like it.

We can act before anything happens through organizational and individual learning. There is no guarantee that we will not suffer psychosocial risks, but we can anticipate and ensure that the impact decreases.

For all these reasons, we are going to use the company's risk management, both from an organizational and individual point of view. The guide brings it to us very clearly:

1. Management from the organization:

2. Management from oneself: there is a part of the management of psychosocial risks that depends on oneself, no less important, it is the one that has to do with applying strategies to face these psychosocial risks, in the guide we talk about several such as nutrition, rest, sports, time management, problem solving and decision making, among others... Below we see the rest:

With these strategies we protect ourselves from psychosocial risks, we minimize the impact, but it does not assure us that we will not suffer these risks.

If you want to learn practical tools that have been successfully implemented before, clear and practical, you can discover them in all of our Good Practice Guides, available for our associated companies in Prevention Classroom. 

In Fraternidad-Muprespa we hope that these guides are of interest to our mutual members, meet their expectations by predominating practical cases and help to strengthen the necessary preventive knowledge, as well as the implementation of preventive measures that can be effectively transferred to the workplace, thus guaranteeing the safety, health and well-being of employees. workers.
