Your tasks during a risk assessment
What are the tasks of a supervisor in this context?
Encourage your employees to actively participate during the assessment of psychosocial risks during the risk assessment. You could say: “It is about improving your working conditions.” and send an important signal. In this way, you show yourself to be a caring manager who fosters the well-being of employees through optimized workplace design.
Provide information on the objectives of the risk assessment and ensure that all team members are reached. Risk assessment can be used as a learning process. It is important that the assessment of the exposure is followed by measures!
Help to reduce fears like “They think we’re crazy” – free the topic “psyche” from taboo; this will also also improve the working atmosphere (also see the respective Action aid). It ultimately serves the well-being of all those involved, if stressors are recognised and countermeasures are taken.
