Who will benefit?

The aim of this course is to raise awareness of likely sources of work-related stress, the range of symptoms and effects it can cause and the options available for its control. Although the level of this qualification is aimed at general workers, it would provide a suitable introduction to the issue of work-related stress for more senior staff.

By the end of the course the candidates will be able to:

• Explain what is meant by the term stress and in particular work-related stress
• Explain the importance of controlling stress in the workplace
• Explain the typical stress related factors in the workplace
• Identify stress in colleagues and themselves
• Advise on and implement controls in the workplace to reduce stress
• Monitor colleagues and themselves in relation to stress at work
