An RSI Understanding Risk method
Psychosocial risk research
Psychosocial risk research is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better understand risk.
Broadly
Psychosocial risk research examines how social environments, organizational factors, and psychological stressors contribute to health and safety risks. It explores issues such as burnout, workplace harassment, and job insecurity, often using mixed methods including surveys, interviews, and epidemiological data. This research helps identify hidden risks that affect mental health and productivity. Challenges include subjectivity, cultural variability, and ethical sensitivities in data collection.
More specifically
RSI integrates psychosocial risk research into workplace risk assessments and community resilience projects. The firm designs ethically robust studies that capture stress-related risk factors and their impact on behavior, health, and systems performance. RSI emphasizes clarity in interpretation and supports decision-makers in addressing psychosocial risks alongside physical and chemical hazards.
