The course is aimed at raising the awareness of likely causes of work related stress, the range of symptoms and effects it can cause and the options available for its control.

The results of a survey published in 2001 indicated that work place stress is the fastest growing health issue, well ahead of back pain, substance abuse and smoking. Stress at work can lead to unstable workers which leads to unsafe conditions which can lead to an accident and result in very serious non insurable fines.

The topic areas covered are:
•  Definition of stress
•  Stress as an occupational hazard
•  Identification of basic workplace stressors
•  Development of basic controls for work-related stressors
•  Responsibilities imposed under UK legislation.

The objectives of this course include being able to identify stress in colleagues and themselves and be able to advise on and implement controls in the workplace to reduce stress. To monitor colleagues and themselves in relation to stress at work and to understand the importance of controlling stress in the work place.

The course includes an assessment based on the student's own work practices which will be marked. Certificates are awarded on satisfactory achievement.
