Stress Management

Work-related stress is one of the leading causes of absence and poor performance across all sectors. In high-hazard industries, workers can face extra pressures, from tight maintenence windows, shift patterns and callouts to lone and remote working and responsibility for critical systems and public safety. 
 

Learners will explore what stress is, how the body responds to it and what commonly causes it at work. They will learn to recognise the signs in themselves and others, understand how stress can affect health, performance and safety, and use practical ways to manage it. The course also covers how to raise concerns, where to find support and what employers must do to manage work-related stress.

This training is suitable for:

• Workers in operational and safety-critical roles
• Shift workers and anyone on an on-call rota
• Lone and remote workers with limited day-to-day access to support
