Occupational stress and stress prevention in air traffic control (1995), by G. Costa

Air traffic controllers (ATCs) are generally considered one of the working groups having to deal with a highly demanding job.

This is one of a series of working papers aimed at providing concrete advice on how to prevent stress in specific occupations particularly exposed to stress. For each occupation considered, the paper indicates a number of preventive measures targeted to the elimination of the causes of stress, rather than the treatment of its effects, and how these measures can become an integral part of the necessary organizational development of a sound enterprise and eventually pay for themselves.
