Work Related Stress – Managers Risk Assessment
This core risk assessment checklist is provided by the Health and Safety Department
in conjunction with the Occupational Health Unit as a template, which provides a
framework for managers to complete an assessment for stress related issues which
they are required to consider. It may not address all specific circumstances, but
should help to assess areas for help and support.
This assessment risk assessment is primarily for managers to identify and consider
sources of stress amongst their staff within their own area of work.

Hazard Identification:
Identify all the hazards (stressors) specific to the working activity; evaluate the risks
(low / medium / high); describe all existing control measures and identify any further
measures required.
If there are any specific hazards e.g., lone working, these should be assessed on a
separate risk assessment form and cross-referenced with this document. See
checklists/risk-assessments
for details.
The risk assessment /checklist is spilt into six main areas:-
Demands - being able to cope with the demands of the job.
Control - having an adequate say over how work is done.
Support - having adequate support in terms of encouragement, sponsorship, and
resources provided by the organisation, line management and colleagues.
Relationships - includes promoting positive working to avoid conflict and dealing
with unacceptable behaviour
Roles - understanding roles and responsibilities.
Change - being involved in any organisational change.
Each question requires a Yes or No answer. Where you identify a "NO" answer
below this may indicate an aspect which may need some attention – assess level as
low/medium/High.. N/R - not relevant.
