Work-related Stress Regulations

Work-related stress regulations require employers to identify, assess, and manage factors that could cause excessive stress among employees. They should provide a safe and healthy work environment, promote work-life balance, and prevent work-related stress from affecting employees’ health. Employers must have procedures to support staff experiencing stress, including assessments, adjustments, or access to support services. These regulations aim to reduce health risks, improve employee wellbeing, and ensure that work demands do not negatively impact mental health. Essentially, employers are responsible for creating workplaces where employees can perform effectively without undue stress impacting their health.
