Overview
Many organisations wish to take action to prevent and manage
work-related stressors, but lack suitable, user-friendly methods.
StressTools is a flexible & simple program designed to
meet this need. See www.stresstools.com
StressTools' development builds upon a two year programme
of research involving the Health and Safety Executive, BP,
Scottish Water, The Keil Centre and a university partner.
StressTools combines the need for a practical approach with
robust methods based on current research knowledge.
