Psychosocial risk assessment

The part of the workplace risk assessment that covers the psychosocial working environment: workload, unclear demands, bullying, harassment, violence and offensive behaviour. It is not an optional extra — psychosocial factors must always be included in the APV alongside physical risks. The rules were clarified in the Danish executive order on psychosocial working environment from 2020. Many companies map it through anonymous questionnaires so employees feel safe answering honestly.
