Psychosocial risks at workplace in Uruguay: background, approaches, and challenges for an unavoidable agenda

The study of the centrality of work in people's lives is unavoidable, both from a social perspective—as a means of subsistence—and in terms of its role in the construction of subjectivity. Psychosocial risks at work (PRW), which arise from the relationship between workers and the conditions und...

Psychosocial risks at work (PRW), which arise from the relationship between workers and the conditions under which work is organized, have significant effects on health. The objective of this study was to review previous research on PRW and the current regulatory framework in Uruguay. A comprehensive bibliographic and documentary review methodology was employed. The studies analyzed address the identification of PRW from both regulatory and health-related perspectives. A total of 170 studies were identified, originating mainly from the fields of Psychology (53%), Medicine (21%), and Law (15%). Regarding the regulatory framework, it was found that PRW are not specifically regulated in Uruguay, except in specific areas such as gender-based violence (Law 19580 of 2017) and sexual harassment (Law 18580 and Decree 256/2017). Gaps were observed in both academic production and legislation with respect to the identification, prevention, and management of these risks. In this context, it becomes imperative that academia, together with union, productive, and governmental actors, advance in the critical discussion and regulation of this field. El estudio de la centralidad del trabajo en la vida de las personas resulta ineludible, tanto desde una perspectiva social -como medio de subsistencia- como desde su papel en la construcción de subjetividad. Los riesgos psicosociales en el trabajo (RPST), derivados de la relación entre quienes trabajan y las condiciones en que dicho trabajo se organiza, producen efectos significativos sobre la salud. El objetivo de este trabajo fue revisar antecedentes de investigaciones sobre RPST y de la normativa vigente en Uruguay. Se empleó una metodología de revisión bibliográfica y documental exhaustiva. Los estudios analizados abordan la identificación de los RPST desde enfoques normativos y de salud. Se identificaron 170 investigaciones provenientes principalmente de la psicología (53%), la medicina (21%) y el derecho (15%). En cuanto al marco normativo, se constató que los RPST no cuentan con regulación en Uruguay, salvo en áreas puntuales como la violencia de género (Ley N° 19580 de 2017) y el acoso sexual (Ley N° 18580 y Decreto N° 256/2017). Se evidencian vacíos tanto en la producción académica como en la legislación respecto a la identificación, prevención y abordaje de estos riesgos. En este contexto, se vuelve perentorio que la academia, junto con los actores sindicales, productivos y gubernamentales, avance en la problematización y regulación de este campo.
