Why Is Stress Risk Assessment Important?
Almost 822,000 people suffer from work-related stress, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). While stress is not considered an illness, it can exacerbate numerous other conditions. It has been linked to poor physical health, causing issues such as panic attacks, fatigue, high blood pressure and trouble sleeping. Stress is also linked to anxiety, depression and substance abuse problems.
The causes of stress vary from person to person. What may cause stress in one person, may not bother another. Similarly, the symptoms of stress are not the same from person to person.
It is the employers duty to be able to identify what may be the causes of occupational stress, identify when it is occurring and ensure suitable and adequate support measures are in place to support their staff.
