Description

Feeling stressed and being under pressure is a normal part of work life. Stress impacts everyone differently and there are times when stress can be good for us. However, too much stress can negatively impact our performance, physical health, and mental health.

Employers have a legal duty to protect workers from work related stress. Workers may begin to feel stressed when they cannot cope with pressures both at work and at home. Stress caused by issues outside of work may impact on a worker’s health and safety.
