On April 28, the laws adopted a little while earlier - improving the prevention of psychosocial risks - were published in the Moniteur Belge. The key novelties concern the definition of these risks and internal appeal procedures employers have to set up to manage situations.
Since the texts permanently adopted are the same as the bills presented, we are republishing the article where we commented these bills (see article No. 7967).
New definition of psychosocial risks. Currently, the legal arsenal on the prevention of the psychosocial burden caused by work (including violence, moral or sexual harassment) specifies employers’ obligations and provides for information and training for workers, measures to take care of the victims, as well as the introduction of an internal procedure in the company, allowing people who feel like they suffer from abusive behavior to be taken in and receive the necessary advice and a quick and fair intervention from someone of trust and the prevention advisor.
