The Corona pandemic demands a lot - from employees, managers and employers. We often only notice how stressful the distance rules, the many restrictions and distanced contacts, e.g. in the home office, are when we are already in the middle of the situation. But also the fear of an illness, the actual experienced illness or even the death of colleagues or even family members or friends is stressful and creates a continuous stress reaction.

It is therefore important to take mental stress into account when implementing the COVID-19 occupational safety and health standards. What hazards can arise from the current pandemic? What options are there for employers, but also for managers and those responsible for safety and health in companies? The DGUV guide "Psychological stress and strain experienced by employees during the Corona pandemic" (FBGIB-005) provides an overview of possible stress factors and management options during the pandemic.
