title: [The regions' contribution to assessment of work-related stress: an operative guide].
abstract: In order to formulate indications for work-related stress assessment established by Italian health and safety regulation (D.Lgs. 81/2008), the interregional technical committee has instituted a working group to define an operative guide. The guide indicates the elements that must be considered in the evaluation, criteria and methods for the assessment, the minimum requirements for the evaluation instruments, and the specific contents of the risk assessment document.The medical surveillance and the role of health and safety local authorities are also considered. The risk assessment must examine work organization indicators and the direct or indirect effects of work-related stress, like morbility, frequent accidents, changing job requests, legal actions, etc. Detecting subjective factors is a second step of the assessment, which must be carried out if the work organization indicators show considerable work-related stress problems, and only in the companies which employ more then ten workers.
