During the next month I will be compiling Risk Assesments on Stress. Though I have a good idea of what I want, I tend to be bordering on the more personal side of things, which could be degratory to individuals involved and cause some embarrassment. Does anyone have an example which I could see to se uif I am on the right track. Many thanks in anticipation.

Well firstly you cannot collect this information on individuals easily as it breaches both the Human Rights Act and potentially the Data Protection Act.

We operate a Human Resources and Employment Law consultancy and advise a lot of organisations on the monitoring and risk assessment of stress.


One way to consider is a form of 360% feedback on all staff anonomously to collect data on the stressors in the workplace and then to collate that data and train managers and HR to identify it in the working environment. Another is to look at a good stress policy and strategy and also provide employee counselling services.


If you would like to chat these options through ( free of cost!) please phone our offices Mon-Fri between 9.00-5.30 to speak to anyone in our stress team , all consultants in that team have extensive knowledge and most are legally qualified in defending actions of that nature.

Jay,

Log on to the Engineering Employers Federation and download their booklet on stress (which contains a self assessment stress form). Or alternatively I can forward it to you in PDF format.

Hope this helps

Regards

Dave Whitfield.
