Occupation or Workplace Stress is defined by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)  as the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressure or other types of demand placed on them.

Dealing with workplace stress can be difficult and confusing, this training course provides details on what you need to know to prevent stress at work and avoid the damaging economic and human costs.

Stress at work can be down to a number of factors and all too often it can be due to the result of a poorly structured job, poor organisation, unrealistic targets, time pressures, insufficient resources or bad management practices. These can result in a persons capacity for dealing with stress being exceeded, to the point where they can no longer cope.  However, everyone is different and the stress thresholds can differ greatly from one person to another.  Additionally some people even thrive on the added pressure of stress and it drives them on, but others struggle and it can adversely affect them. The outcome can produce significant illness and disease in some cases. It can also lead to mistakes and further injuries, not only to themselves, but potentially to other workers or even members of the public. This is why it’s vital that workplace or occupational stress is managed properly and not simply ignored.
