Risk factors
Physical and technical risks

Organizational risks
For example, ambiguity in priorities, leadership and goals, the organization of working hours and lack of recovery, shortcomings in and use of IT systems.
Social risks
For example, bullying, abusive discrimination, lack of support and cooperation difficulties, pressured external relations with elements of harassment, threats and violence, shortcomings in and use of IT systems.
In the next section, we look at how threats and violence can be defined.
Threats and violence
Different people may have different perceptions of what is a threat or violence. Different people also experience threats and violence in different ways.
Violence is aggressive acts that lead to physical or mental harm to another human being. By threat is meant, for example, oral or written threats of physical violence or vandalism.
What is perceived as a threat or violence varies and can not always be distinguished.
