Psychosocial Risks
4. Psychosocial Intervention
4.3. Actions regarding the worker
The aim of providing workers with information and training in matters of occupational risk prevention is to give them the knowledge and capabilities that will enable them to analyze the situation and react appropriately through the adoption of preventive behaviour.
The planning of occupational risk prevention training must start out from an analysis of existing needs, determining the intended recipients, establishing action priorities based on detected needs and determining the training goals that are sought.
The training programme to develop is to be determined from this starting-out point, defining the corresponding contents, estimating the resources needed (material, human, economic) and designing the schedule.
To speak of training in the psychosocial field means to speak of a tool that helps satisfy the needs and expectations that workers have regarding their jobs, constituting an instrument that allows them, for example, to adapt to new situations at work that are potential generators of stress and to keep up-to-date as regards their profession or trade, thereby opening up prospects for promotion and career development.
