| Abstract |
This paper identifies the main sources of stress for air-traffic controllers and describes the consequences for health and well-being. Improvements are proposed in the areas of: legislation and social support; job planning and the reliability of work systems; arrangement of working times and rest pauses; arrangement of shift schedules according to psycho-physiological and social criteria; participation in decision making; the work environment and workplace design; individual responses and behaviour (coping with stress, selection and training, counselling); appropriate medical surveillance. |
