Psychosocial Risk Assessments
With support from the European Union
The Committee of Senior Labour Inspectors (SLIC)www.av.se/SLIC 2012
Work aid/interview guidelines for evaluating risk assessments with regard to psy-chological stressThis list, which concentrates on the implementation process, is to be used to evaluate risk assessments in the area of psycho-logical stress. Prior training on contents and application is essential. Basis of assessment: interview and document analysis.
No. Questions on effectiveness and continuation Yes To some
extent No Explanations, indicators Comments
9 EffectivenessThe effectiveness of the measures was checked.
How was effectiveness checked?What additional or remedial action was taken?
10 DocumentationRisk assessment has been documented.
Have all the relevant aspects been clearly documented?
11 ContinuationAdaptation of the risk assessment to changing circumstances is ensured.
Is the process integra-ted with the operating procedures?
Final evaluation by the supervisor
12 Evaluation (in accordance with risk assessment guidelines)a) The risk assessment is plausible and appropriate because:
- The risk assessment pro-cess is easy to follow and fit for purpose.
- The main psychological stress factors were col-lected and assessed in an appropriate way to ensure all of the important activi-ties were included.
- Measures have been taken or initiated and their effectiveness checked.
- The documentation is appropriate in terms of form and content.
b) The risk assessment is not appropriate – accor-ding to the guidelines, this should be the conclusion if:- the risk is incorrectly assessed.
- important workplaces/ac-tivities are not determined.
- important workplaces/ac-tivities are not assessed.
- certain categories of people are excluded.
- there is no verification of effectiveness.
- the assessment is not up to date.
- the documentation is not plausible.
