Employers have a responsibility to identify sensible measures to control risks in the workplace and one of the key risks to an employee’s health is stress, which means that the importance of carrying out stress risk assessments should not be overlooked. Organisations that implement an effective strategy to deal with stress and the things that affect it will note that the benefits are considerable.
This course will teach attendees how to perform a Stress Risk Assessment, identify suitable measures, based on current HSE recommended practices.
In these stress risk assessment training course materials, your participants will identify stress, understand how it can be risk assessed and then, what recommendations might be used to reduce its effects.
Using exercises, activities and sample documents, the course gives compelling reasons for an employer to undertake this relatively inexpensive yet effective process. Participants will take away a model stress risk assessment questionnaire as well as a range of practical hints and information to enable them to carry out a stress risk assessment back at work.
Topics covered:
Team leaders, supervisors, managers, HR professionals and anyone else involved in the management of people or organisations.
