In the past years, important laws and agreements have been elaborated by European stakeholders in order to have a common regulation across Europe on this area. The aim of the present contribution is to introduce three European models for assessment and management of psychosocial factors risks. These models are HSE, SOBANE and Start. Vantages and disvantages are presented and the future perspectives are suggested.
