Stress Audit Risk Assessment
Stress prevention and control is an essential part of the effective management of people at work. It is often said that prevention is better than cure and a stress audit can assist in identifying areas that may be causing undue pressure or stress in your organisation.

Why carry out a Stress audit?
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, there is a duty on every employer 'to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all employees'. The Act covers mental health as well as physical health. Undertaking an audit helps by demonstrating that the employer recognises that stress is not a personal problem but an issue which managers, staff and the organisation as a whole are committed to addressing.
The main benefits to an organisation from reducing stress at work are:
