Employee protection is not just an empty buzzword, but has become an important, sustainability-oriented task aimed at preserving the health of workers. Influenced by the use of technological innovations, advancing globalization, and changes in demographic structures, both health and its prevention as prerequisites for a functioning economic and social state have sparked discussions. Ranging from physical illnesses to psychosocial stressors, such as bullying, this work describes the various types of work-related stress, solidifies the facts through statistics and laws, and presents practical examples. This book was created as part of the VIBCON - Vienna-Bratislava-Company-Network project under the scientific direction of Dr. Eva Waginger and was approved as a thesis by o.Univ.Prof. Dr. G. Vogel, head of the Institute for Technology and Sustainable Product Management at WU Vienna. It is aimed at all those who are professionally or privately confronted with the topic of occupational safety.
