How should I go about doing a stress risk assessement?
The HSE publishes advice on how to do stress risk assessments, but a brief outline is set out below. There are links to more information and to the HSE website elsewhere in this section.
Preparation
- Get commitment from your organisation.
- Select a pilot group.
First pass
- Define the current state of the organisation against the management standards.
- Feed back results to staff and others.
Second pass
- Define problem areas in more detail.
Consultation
- Consult with employees to confirm the nature of the problem(s) and agree what action to take.
Taking action
- Put in place ways of dealing with the problems - these are called ‘interventions’.
Review
- Review the results of the project.
- Deal with individual issues that have arisen.
