[The preliminary assessment in the B-BS protocol as a tool for the discovery of job stress symptoms and contingencies: a method under experimentation by INAIL].
The proposed model is aimed at assessing work-related stress and consists of a preliminary phase during which the Organization is monitored, Indexes and stressors are defined, characterized and then weighted; existing symptoms (if any) are also identified. A 'Probability vs. Severity' Matrix is then built up as a result: these tasks can profitably be performed by a technical professional, typically the Responsible of the Safety and Health Committee. According to found evidences, a second phase, strictly based upon the application of psychosocial research tools, might be needed to investigate group of workers that resulted troublesome during the preliminary phase. The preliminary phase of investigation on organizational stressors and indexes can be easily and successfully integrated with the 'Safety Assessment' steps provided for the B-BS protocol, also aimed at monitoring the organizational wellbeing and consequently acting on the workers' behavior. The model has been specifically designed for Small and Medium Enterprises, with the global objective of preventing accidents at work due to misbehavior and distraction, by correctly and safely applying operational procedures and mutual relationships.
