Stress Audit can fulfil
the greater part of the Risk
Assessment requirements now
demanded by the HSE.
It is the first step in a process.
A simple and effective means
of assessing the levels of perceived
stress that exist within an
organisation, it uncovers where
particular problems lie; measures
the causes and incidences of
stress, its probable levels,
and indications of impending
problems within a department,
organisation or group of individuals.
The audit covers those main
factors listed in the Health
and Safety Executive's latest
guidelines and management standards:
- Demands
- Control
- Relationships
- Change
- Role
- Support
Analysis of the audit results
allows us to make recommendations
to effectively target those
areas within the organisation
which have the greatest need.
"It
is the duty of all employers
to make sure that their
employees are not made
ill by their work. Where
stress caused or made
worse by work could lead
to ill health, employers
must assess the risk"

"The
HSE, the CBI and others
have produced figures
that state that stress-related
sickness absence is costing
organisations between
£350 and £500
per annum per employee."
