UN report: Work-related stress is killing 840,000 people a year

Psychosocial risk factors, including long working hours, job insecurity and workplace bullying and harassment, create harmful work environments that harm people's physical and mental health, according to a new UN report.

More than 840,000 people die each year from health conditions linked to psychosocial risks at work, including long working hours, job insecurity and workplace harassment.

"Psychosocial risks are becoming one of the most important challenges to occupational safety and health in the modern world of work," said Manal Azzi, team leader for Occupational Safety and Health policies and systems.

Work shapes identity, social connection, and economic security, so its organization determines whether it is coherent and adequately resourced, or whether excessive demands, role ambiguity, and perceived injustice create harm. /CNA
