Stress risk assessments

HR Support

Reduce your risk of stress related legal action

The management of Health and Safety at Work regulations requires employers to carry out regular risk assessments. This applies to mental health as well as physical health and addresses areas of potential stress in the workplace.

A stress risk assessment looks at key issues surrounding:

• company culture
• work organisation
• systems and processes

The resulting report provides a platform for corrective action and signposts the direction in which resource should be deployed. Such an assessment may help with reducing the risk of employee stress related legal action.

Many organisations are prevented from conducting such a valuable audit through lack of resource or budget - this is no longer the case with a stress risk assessment from BHSF.

The audit has been designed in-line with the Health and Safety Executive guidelines.
