Psychophysiological Hazards in the Workplace and Means of Protection

This article analyses the identification, assessment and mitigation of psychophysiological hazards in the workplace under the conditions specific to Uzbekistan. The problem is not limited to the concepts of "stress" or "fatigue". It is treated as a multi-factor hazard system related to the organisation of the work process, work pace, shift schedule, level of responsibility, physical and neuropsychological strain, the workplace environment and management culture.
The study carries out a comparative analysis of the Labour Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Law on Labour Protection, workplace assessment regulations and sanitary-hygienic requirements, as well as ILO Conventions Nos 155 and 187, GOST 12.0.003-2015, ISO 45001:2018 and the ISO 10075 series. Uzbekistan's ratification of ILO Convention No. 187 in 2021 and ILO Convention No. 155 in 2024 has reinforced the need for systematic management of psychophysiological hazards within the domain of occupational safety.
