Psychological stressors encompass various factors such as excessive workload, interpersonal conflicts, uncertainty, and environmental pressures that contribute to mental and emotional strain. This course delves into their impact on the workplace, emphasising the importance of understanding and managing common stressors such as work stress, bullying, and harassment, and addresses workplace trauma. Learn strategies for early identification and intervention, effective communication, and managing risk factors to create a supportive and balanced work environment, noting that this course is about awareness and is not a replacement for professional support or advice.
The ready2work HSE series is designed for all staff and will typically follow from the ready2start series. With a basic grounding from the associated courses in that range, we can now focus on specific hazards and more detail. Workers should complete these courses at the very start of their employment and most titles would need to be refreshed every one or two years based on workplace requirements to ensure they are updated with the latest protocols and practices.
