Abstract Based on the ILO publication Conditions of Work Digest on Preventing stress at work (see CIS 93-1748), this article gives an overview of the prevention of stress at the workplace. First, it discusses the extent and costs of the problem as reasons for its prevention. Then, it describes consecutive steps which are useful in order to understand stress, recognize its existence, identify its causes and decide on the measures to take. It also outlines various enterprise programmes that might be adopted to combat stress. Finally, several legislative measures dealing with occupational stress at the national and international level are surveyed.
