“…These changes have resulted in increasing attention being paid to psychosocial risks and new challenges in the field of OHS (Bluff & Gunningham, 2004;European Risk Observatory Report, 2007). The control of psychosocial risks differs from the control of more conventional OHS risks, as psychosocial risks cannot be managed, measured, and observed in an objective and technical manner (Leka et al, 2011). Cox et al (2000) define psychosocial risks as 'those aspects of work design and the organization of management of work, and their social and organizational contexts, which have the potential for causing psychological, social or physical harm.'…”

“…Outside the narrow confines of state regulation, many aspects of psychosocial risks have attracted attention. Hence, attempts are being made to revise management standards for OHS (such as OHSAS 18001) so that they encompass psychosocial risks (Hohnen & Hasle, 2011;Hohnen et al, 2014;Leka et al, 2011).…”

“…FIOH, 2013;Viitala, 2005;White et al, 1996). Due to these changes, novel occupational health and safety risks such as psychosocial risks have emerged, and the mental and emotional demands of work have increased (Leka et al, 2011). At all organisational levels, managers have an essential role when organisations develop safety (e.g.…”

Introduction: Assessing and developing managers’ safety competence is one method for achieving high safety performance in the organisations. Objectives: The aim of this study is to construct a safety management competence development framework to help organisations in safety promotion. Materials and methods: This study comprises a theory-based construction of the safety management competence development framework and an empirical study in a case organisation. Results: The framework consists of definition of safety management competence requirements, self-assessment of the competence, definition of development needs, and implementation of competence development activities. Conclusions: The framework provides the means for systematically improving managers’ safety management competence as an integral part of general management competence development procedures in organisations.

“…the "2014-2015 Healthy Workplaces Campaign" [1]). It is a common view that psychosocial risks (or "mental stress") should be assessed in psychosocial risk assessment management (PRIMA) and in Workplace Health Promotion (WHP) in a timely manner and at the same time as differentiated as possible [2]. On the other hand, doing assessments often and detailed could add an additional load to the workers and the organization.…”

In a comprehensive risk assessment at the workplace, all relevant risks at the workplace -and especially psychosocial risks that might be linked to negative health outcomes -have to be assessed. This detailed assessment of psychosocial risks should be done very detailed and as often as possible, which is often complicated as integrating this assessment into the organization's structure and processes is difficult. In addition, a constant assessment could be experienced as stressful for the employees. We present a Framework for an Adaptive Stress Testing (FAST) as a strategy for an effective assessment of stress and psychosocial risks as a basis for the further development of prevention strategies. In three phases, psychosocial risks can be assessed economically and efficiently: 1) A short assessment with few items and obtaining a first feedback about the individual results, 2) An extended version of the assessment and obtaining a second feedback about the individual results, and 3) Getting in contact with supporting experts to discuss the individual results. FAST can be integrated in the process of risk assessment to get a quick and economical assessment of psychosocial risks to further develop specific interventions on the individual and organizational level.
