Since 1 January 2021 the former units 3.4, Mental Health and Cognitive Capacity, and 3.5, Mental Workload, have been combined in a newly established, multidisciplinary unit that is currently defining and further developing its strategic approach. In its research, the unit deals with questions that relate to psychosocial factors and mental health in work settings.
The unit's research and development priorities lie in the following fields:
With the results of its research, unit 3.2 contributes to the further development of strategies and concepts for the protection and promotion of mental health, human-centred work design, and the appropriate consideration of psychosocial factors in occupational safety and health. These strategies and concepts are not exclusively concerned with the prevention of mental disorders, but also cover resources for the promotion of mental health and work ability.
To pursue these aims, the unit participates in the activities of various specialist bodies and working groups at national and international levels, including the work programme "Protection and fortification of health in the case of work-related mental load" of the Joint German Occupational Safety and Health Strategy (Gemeinsame Deutsche Arbeitsschutzstrategie, GDA), the German Social Accident Insurance (Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung, DGUV) Unit for "Mental Health and Well-being in the Workplace" and advises the committees on Occupational Safety and Health of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales, BMAS).
