Psychosocial risks
English
"At a time when no one can dispute the growing importance of 'psychosocial risks' and when the very use of this expression for these risks is becoming routine, in European circles a semantic shift towards the more inclusive topic of mental health is developing and solidifying. Under the guise of widening the debate, the expression “psychosocial risks” is being eclipsed, resulting in the removal or marginalisation of the link with the conditions of work and employment from which they stem."
