Document background
The Stress Risk Assessment document serves as a crucial tool for organizations operating in Belgium to fulfill their legal obligations regarding workplace well-being and psychosocial risk management. This assessment is required under Belgian law, particularly the Royal Decree of 10 April 2014 and the Code on Well-being at Work, which mandate employers to evaluate and address psychosocial risks, including work-related stress. The document provides a structured approach to identifying potential stress factors, assessing their impact, and developing appropriate prevention and mitigation strategies. It should be implemented when organizations undergo significant changes, when stress-related issues are identified, or as part of regular workplace risk assessments. The assessment includes evaluation methodologies, risk analysis frameworks, and action planning templates, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all aspects of workplace stress management.
