Carrying out a risk assessment will help to inform, guide and support risk reduction. With over 10 years of providing this training to many different organisations, get in touch to find out more.

Work stress can be managed effectively by a risk management approach as is carried out for other major health and safety problems. The challenges and positive aspects of the work environment can be assessed.

The causes of stress are hazards which are related to the management and design of work and working conditions. These hazards can be controlled and managed in the same way as other hazards.

A stress risk assessment is a valuable tool for organisations to promote employee wellbeing, improve workplace conditions, and enhance overall organisational performance.

The course is designed to ensure employers comply with the law which requires all employers to assess the risk of work-related stress and to put effective steps in place to manage these risks. Employers have a legal duty under the “Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations,” 1999, to assess the risk of stress-related ill health arising from work activities and under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. The Management Standards are not legal requirements, they are guidance which is intended to help and encourage employers to meet their legal obligations.

It is Divided into 5 sections and takes you through guidance on how to implement an effective risk management approach and understand the steps in tackling and preventing work-related stress.

Who is it suitable for?
Suitable for Directors, Heads of Department, Health and Safety, Human Resources, Managers, Team Leaders, Compliance and Risk Managers, Occupational Health professionals and those with an interest in developing the stress risk process within their organisation.

Why should you attend the training?
This practical one-day course will enable an organisation to comply with the legal duty to protect their employees from stress at work by carrying out a stress risk assessment and acting on it.
