Description

Work-related stress is a significant issue in many countries, with far-reaching consequences for individuals and organisations. The negative impacts of stress can include a range of physical, psychological, and social problems, from circulatory and gastrointestinal diseases to poor work performance and low productivity. This manual provides practical guidance on identifying and mitigating stressors in the workplace, and on linking workplace risk assessment with stress prevention. It offers a set of easy-to-apply checkpoints that can be used by enterprises and organisations to incorporate stress prevention into their occupational safety and health policy and management systems. By following these checkpoints, organisations can take steps to optimise work conditions and reduce the negative impacts of stress, leading to improved productivity and a healthier workforce.
