Abstract

Abstract. The step from hazard analysis to developing risk-mitigating measures is crucial to improving working conditions but has been scarcely researched to date. We qualitatively investigated protocols of analytical workshops in 33 organizational units that followed a prior hazard analysis with the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ, N = 7,257 employees). There was a high degree of agreement between the COPSOQ results and those of the workshops. However, no measures were developed for approximately one-third of the identified work-design problems. A content analysis of the measures revealed the complex interrelationship between the work characteristics, as minimizing one risk factor seems to go hand in hand with the need to redesign others as well. The measures were often simple, indicating either that minimizing psychosocial risks is rather easy, or that the participants within the workshops did not have the authority to develop more complex measures. We discuss the implications to support future psychosocial risk management.

通过弥合分析和行动之间的差距来重新设计工作场所

摘要从危害分析到制定降低风险措施的步骤对改善工作条件至关重要，但迄今为止几乎没有研究。采用哥本哈根心理社会问卷(COPSOQ, N = 7,257名员工)进行风险分析后，我们对33个组织单位的分析工作坊的方案进行了定性调查。COPSOQ的结果与讲习班的结果高度一致。然而，没有针对大约三分之一已确定的工作设计问题制定措施。对这些措施的内容分析揭示了工作特征之间复杂的相互关系，因为最小化一个风险因素似乎与重新设计其他因素的需要密切相关。这些措施往往很简单，这表明，要么是尽量减少社会心理风险相当容易，要么是讲习班的参与者没有权力制定更复杂的措施。我们讨论了支持未来社会心理风险管理的影响。
