Occupational health: control and monitoring of psychosocial and organisational hazards at work.
This paper considers the conceptualizations which underpin the traditional approach to occupational health and offers a critique; much of which points up the importance of psychosocial and organizational issues. It then explores the possible development of a new 3 factor model of concern - organisational health - based on health, work and organisation. It takes as its thesis the need to address the problems posed by psychosocial and organisational hazards at work and the argument that these can be managed effectively within the framework of practice that has proved successful for the more tangible workplace hazards.
