Stress Risk Assessments

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has recognised stress as a workplace hazard and has identified six aspects of work that can lead to stress; Demands, Control, Support, Relationships, Role and Change.

It is important employers support employees in the best way possible to allow them to address the issue causing any identified workplace stressor. This will lead to a more motivated, happier and productive member of staff and increase your reputation as a caring employer.

A risk assessment is an effective tool used as part of a plan to reduce the risk of stress within work. Often employees find discussing workplace issues with an independent party as a more comfortable option. OPA Health Ltd offers an independent stress risk assessment that complies with standards set by the HSE. A fully comprehensible report relating to the identified stress issue will be sent to the referring manager (the normal parameters of consent apply) following the assessment, giving the employer clear direction as to the perceived stressors, allowing management to address the issues and bring the case to resolution.
