Evaluation in terms of employee protection is a systematic process in which risks to health and safety at work are identified and assessed. According to the Employee Protection Act (AT) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act (DE), employers are obliged to evaluate activities and work processes and to record this process and the results in the health and safety documents. Subsequently, suitable measures to eliminate or minimize the hazards must be defined and implemented. Since 2013, the mandatory risk assessment has also explicitly included mental workload.
The subjective stress experienced and perceptions of individuals are not covered by the workplace evaluation.
