Abstract |
Although there is no single approach for assessing mental workload given the wide variety of working conditions, this information note proposes a general framework that can be used as a guide for developing an assessment approach for specific conditions. This framework consists of the following steps: data collection; description of the workplace, working conditions and profiles of persons assigned to the work; assessment of the mental requirements (or pressures), and resulting tensions; proposals for improvement, their selection and implementation. |
