Stress and common sense: the first ever HSE guidance on tackling stress at work

Article Abstract:

The Health and Safety Executive's 'Stress at work: a guide for employers' is its first guidance on stress and it indicates that stress should be treated like all other health hazards in the workplace. The guidance is intended as a note of advice rather than a mandated standard, although, it may be treated as such in Civil Proceedings. The possible causes of stress are listed and common sense approaches to counter stress are suggested.
