Abstract

The development of the first psychosocial occupational risk mapping study carried out in the Community of Madrid is presented and summarised. This research works under the fundamental objective of locating and describing the presence and impact of psychosocial occupational risks in the working population of Madrid. To this end, eminently social methodologies were combined, such as socio-documentary analysis strategies, the dynamization of discussion groups, interviews with key informants, together with data collection methodologies and sampling procedures. The main results point to the emergence of a precarious labour market, in which labour risks such as violence and contractual insecurity are particularly evident. These risks transform and change the more traditional ones, creating a complex scenario for prevention and management in this area. In short, it is necessary to adapt Occupational Risk Prevention (ORP) measures and assessments, and more specifically, those aimed at psychosocial occupational risks, to this new context, as well as to develop new models of intervention and prevention in the strict sense of the term.
