Psychosocial risks at work affect nearly one in two workers in Europe.

Omissions

• The most recent EU-OSHA figure is 'nearly 45%' of workers, not 50% ('one in two'); the MEP rounded up to 'almost every second worker'.
• The 45% refers specifically to workers reporting exposure to risk factors that can adversely affect their mental health, a slightly narrower framing than the general statement that 'psychosocial risks affect' workers.
• A separate EU-OSHA OSH Pulse 2022 finding states that 27% of workers experience stress, anxiety or depression caused or made worse by work — a much lower figure, showing that prevalence depends heavily on the metric chosen (exposure to risk factors vs. actual reported health outcomes).
• The exact publication date of the EU-OSHA theme page could not be confirmed from the search results.
