El acoso laboral desde la perspectiva de la prevención de riesgos laborales. Breves apuntes

Abstract

The article «Harassment in the workplace from the standpoint of the prevention of risks at work» attempts to reflect on the different types of harassment that can take place in the workplace and also the possible means for protecting against them. It aims at establishing what can be identified as such within the indeterminacy per se of what characterizes harassment —drawing a distinction for such purpose between moral, gender and sexual harassment. Once light has been shed on the above, the position of the worker as a victim of such conduct is then determined so as to show in general terms that preventive channels can exist that may prevent harassment in the workplace. Designing certain possible tools for such purpose is what the article attempts to do, in addition to trying to highlight the difficult position in which the victim of this type of conduct finds themselves on many occasions —such conduct always being difficult to prove.
