Occupational health or occupational hygiene is aimed at promoting and maintain the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in every profession. In the bibliographic review it is observed how the psychological conflicts and the inadaptation of man to work can generate negative states of mind, emotional unbalances and other malaises affecting not only mental health, but also the neurovegetative functioning of the organism. That's why occupational stress is one of the problems related to the health-disease binomy that has called the attention of researchers in the last 20 years. Working is one of the most useful sources of psychological and social well-being for human beings and provides most of the meaning and structure of the adult, as many authors assert. In the investigations, it is stressed the duality of its effects on health and well-being. This paper allows to deal with new criteria on the psychosocial factors intervening in the working area and its impact on the worker's health, and to search for new diagnostic tools for the future.
