Guidance on managing pressure at work

Excessive or prolonged pressure in the workplace is a health and safety issue; a cost to the organisation and the individual; and can be prevented and alleviated by individuals and their managers.

The Guidance on managing pressure at work (PDF) aims to help managers and staff as individuals to manage pressure at work.

There is also a Work related stress risk assessment (PDF), which can be used to help identify possible causes of excessive pressure and suggest steps that can be taken to try to eliminate the risk.

Stress management training is also available; further details can be found in the Staff Development Booklets from the Staff Development Unit.
