3. Development of internal company standards of good management
practice and a task-based risk assessment tool for work-related
stressors - download
- (PDF - 603KB - 137 pages)
Research conducted by The Keil Centre and Birkbeck College, in
conjunction with BP, Scottish Water and the Health and Safety
Executive's Offshore Safety Division.
This report describes a project which developed a set of fourteen
internal, company-specific management standards for common work-related
stressors. A "bottom-up" stress risk assessment approach
was used to identify work-related stressors affecting team members
in two organisations, BP and Scottish Water. The final versions
of the standards, and a description of the process used in their
development, are provided. In addition, a set of human factors
triggers for use during a task-based risk assessment was developed
and implemented.
Although the standards and human factors triggers were developed
within specific industries, it is likely that they will be relevant
and useful to many organisations who wish to adopt a preventative
approach to work-related stress.
