MACIAS, Arianne M.  and  VIDAL, Adalberto A.. Management of psychosocial risks?: An S.O.S in cuban organizations. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp. 192-210. ISSN 1516-3687.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/1980-6906/psicologia.v21n2p192-210.

This article aims to motivate reflection on the need to manage risks and psychosocial risk factors within the health and safety systems in Cuban organizations. It is based on the critical analysis of the authors about the Cuban regulatory framework on health and safety, the bibliographic review and the experiences accumulated in consulting work. Several arguments support the need to manage risks and psychosocial risk factors in Cuban organizations. These include: its prevalence as a result of the changes engendered by the organization of work, the harmful consequences for the health of the workers and the organization, the complexity of their management and the lack of knowledge about them displayed by the labor community. All this forces us to give them greater visibility and importance in safety and health management practices, in order to guarantee the sustainability of our organizations.

Keywords : Management; psychosocial risk; psychosocial risk factors; occupational safety and health management; labor organizations.
