WORK-RELATED STRESS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Work-Related Stress (WRS)<\/strong> is stress caused or made worse by work. It simply refers to when a person perceives the work environment in such a way that his or her reaction involves feelings of an inability to cope. It may be caused by perceived\/real pressures\/deadlines\/threats\/anxieties within the working environment.<\/p>\n

One of the general duties of an employer under The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005<\/a> list is to \u201censure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare at work of his or her employees.\u201d Therefore, it would be important that you consider any workplace hazard where there is a reasonable probability that it could cause work-related stress.<\/p>\n

Risk assessments can help identify potential stressful situations and can make it easier to deal with stress claims. There can be a huge benefit to you as an employer and your employees to reduce stress and create a better workplace for everyone.<\/p>\n
