Carrying out a work-related stress assessment
Employers have a legal duty to protect workers from stress at work by doing a risk assessment and implementing control measures proactively before harm occurs. In this session, an HSE expert will guide you through the steps for undertaking a risk assessment for work-related stress including the legal and business cases for managing work-related stress; gaining senior leader commitment; using data to target action; engaging with staff and evaluating the impact of actions and responding accordingly. The session will signpost resources available for each step of an organisational-level risk assessment and further resources for managers and individuals to manage work-related stress at a more individual level.
