Resumen Across Europe, there appear to be wide gaps in perception between experts and the general population on the nature and the relevance of psychosocial risks. This study investigated the level of knowledge among European stakeholders of legislation on occupational safety and health, focusing particularly on psychosocial risk factors. 75 members of employers' associations, trade unions and government institutions from 21 countries in the European Union participated in the study. In addition, to further elaborate the findings of the survey, focus groups were organised during a 2-day workshop. The level of application of European Directive 89/391 (see CIS 89-1401) for the assessment and management of psychosocial risks and work-related stress was largely reported by the stakeholders as inadequate. This opinion was more marked in the new EU27 countries than the older EU15, and the difference was significant as regards the impact of the Directive on the assessment and management of psychosocial risks. Overall, psychosocial risks and work-related stress were reported to be important occupational safety and health concerns; however there were important differences among stakeholders in different countries.
