Stress Audits

All employers have a duty, under health and safety law, to assess the risk of work-related stress to their employees and to take actions to control that risk.

A stress audit will help your organisation:

• Identify key stressors and detect ‘hot spots’ requiring immediate attention.
• Prevent stress by reducing the risk factors at source.
• Reduce absenteeism associated with work-related stress.
• Reduce the risk of litigation.
