Ekonomik krizler çalışanların iyilik hali, ruhsal ve fiziksel sağlığı üzerinde, kuşkuya yer bırakmayacak biçimde olumsuz bir etkiye sahiptir. Kriz zamanlarında, kötü sağlık koşulları içeren eğreti çalışmada, önemli bir artış görülmektedir. Artan iş yükü, çalışma zamanı modellerinde değişim, üretimin azalması, işini kaybetme stresi ve kaygısı, çalışanların sağlığı üzerinde istenmeyen olumsuz etkilerde bulunmaktadır. Kriz süresince, işletmenin yeniden yapılanması ve küçülmeye gitmesi, işten çıkarılan çalışanlar, yapılanma sonrasında işyerinde çalışmayı sürdürenler ve çoğu yöneticinin sağlığı üzerindeki etkisi yıkıcıdır. Krizle birlikte, fiziksel ve psikolojik şiddet ve tehdit işyerlerinde artmaktadır. İşsizlerin istihdam edilenlere göre daha çok psikolojik ve ruhsal sorunlar yaşadıkları bilinmektedir. Aynı zamanda kriz, işsizlerin ve istihdam edilenlerin ruhsal sağlık sorunlarının yaygınlığını ve yoğunluğunu ağırlaştırmaktadır. Sosyal korumada, özellikle sağlık harcamalarında azalma, ekonomik krizlerin diğer önemli olumsuz etkisidir. Ayrıca iş denetimi, çalışmada sağlık ve güvenlik hizmetlerinin kapasitesi de kamu harcamalarındaki azalma yüzünden etkisini yitirmektedir

Economic crises have undoubtedly had a negative impact on the mental and physical health as well as well-being of the workers. At times of crisis, a dramatic increase is seen in the precarious work associated with poor health conditions. The fear and stress of losing their jobs, downsizing production, changing working-time patterns and increasing job demands have an unfavourable effect on the health of the workers. The process of organizational restructuring and downsizing during the crisis has destructive impact on the mental health of the employees faced with redundancy as well as those who stay in the workplace after the restructuring and many managers. Physical and psychological violence and threat are also increasingly seen at workplaces subject to crisis. It is well known that the unemployed are often in a worse state of being in terms of psychological and mental distress than the employed. Moreover, the crisis aggravates the level and extent of mental health problems of both of the employed and the unemployed. The decrease in social protection including particularly health care spending is another important negative outcome caused by the economic crises. Also, the capacities of labour inspectorates and other safety and health services at work are attenuated by the decrease in public spending
