Policy Development Services

Policy Development for Work Related Stress

One of the key indicators that your organisation takes due care and attention to manage work related stress is a clearly defined policy of what your business actually does to achieve this aim.

Although you can, of course, write your own stress policy, if you want to meet the standards set out in the HSE management standards guide, then it is important that your policy addresses all of the key issues specified therein.

Furthermore, please bear in mind that whilst having a clearly defined policy for work related stress is an absolute must for business today, having a policy necessarily dictates that you also be carrying out the activities contained therein and clearly demonstrate a business-wide commitment to both preventing and managing stress in the work place.

Your policy would have to include the following sections:

General introduction and overview

Why you have this policy and who it applies to.

Policy

The details of your policy

Clear definition of what stress is

A statement defining the difference between stress and pressure

Key Staff and Their Specific Roles

Managers

Define who, what and when and the limits of responsibility

Health & Safety Staff

Define who, what and when and the limits of responsibility

HR

Define who, what and when and the limits of responsibility

Employees

Define who, what and when and the limits of responsibility

Safety Representatives

Define who, what and when and the limits of responsibility

Safety Committees

Define who, what and when and the limits of responsibility
