It is recognised that from time to time employees may experience work related stress.
School/Function risk assessments address control measures for work-related stress. Employees who are subject to occupational stressors affecting them are encouraged to seek assistance from local management or from Human Resources.
Where an employee raises work-related stress as an issue, the Health and Safety Office can facilitate the completion of a risk assessment with relevant parties.
An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is available to all employees. Students should liaise with their year tutor in relation to issues regarding stress. Students may also seek assistance from the Student Health Centre and Student Counselling Service.
