, Prevalence and quality of workplace risk assessments – Findings
from a representative company survey in Germany (Lenhardt, U.
and Beck, D., 2016. Prevalence and quality of workplace risk
assessments–Findings from a representative company survey in
Germany. Safety science, 86, pp.48-56.) The obligation to perform
Workplace Risk Assessments (WRA) was introduced into [European]
occupational safety and health legislation in 1989 through the
European Framework Directive on Safety and Health at Work
(Council of the European Communities, 1989). Since then, the
related provisions have been transposed into national regulatory
frameworks by all EU member states. In Germany, the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (‘‘Arbeitsschutzgesetz”) from 1996 made it
mandatory for employers to determine the necessary occupational
health and safety measures by carrying out an assessment of the
risks the workers are exposed to at work. In doing so, all sources of
risks, including psychosocial factors, shall be considered, and the
measures taken shall be reviewed for their effectiveness. Moreover,
the results of the assessment, the measures derived and the
evaluation of these must be documented (Bundesministerium der
Justiz und für Verbraucherschutz, 2013; Froneberg and Timm, 2012).
Therefore, WRAs are not only required to take a comprehensive
perspective on work-related risks but also to be integrated in a
clearly structured risk management process (Frick et al., 2000). The
procedures for conducting WRAs are described in numerous
manuals published by safety and health authorities, OSH service
providers, business and labour associations, or other organisations
(e.g., European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, 2007; Health
and Safety Executive, 2014). Although varying in detail, the
recommendations given in these manuals are basically quite similar.
The 5 MNO2605 Assignment 1_Semester_1_2026 5 first steps in
carrying out a WRA are to make an inventory of typical workplaces
and/or work operations within the company and to check these for
the presence of occupational hazards, which may be of physical,
chemical, biological, mechanical or psychosocial nature. Each of the
identified hazards must then be evaluated for the level of risk it
actually poses to the employees. If the risk is unacceptably high
according to relevant regulations or established scientific
knowledge, control measures must be taken to eliminate it or to
minimise it as far as reasonably possible. When planning preventive
action, the companies have to obey a hierarchy of control measures
