Stress Policy

This organisation has a legal responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and
Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 to ensure the health and welfare at work
of their employees, including minimising stress at work.

Consequently, the business will make reasonable adjustments where possible and take all necessary
steps to remove where possible all sources of workplace stress.

We recognise that stress can be a considerable risk to both physical and mental health. This policy
explains the action we are taking as an employer with regard to stress-related problems in the
workplace. The aim is to prevent stress-related problems from occurring if possible but also to state
what will be done in the event that employees experience problems.

We are committed to promoting a good, supportive climate and working culture, and a culture of
openness, where stress is not seen as a personal weakness and where employees under stress can
access appropriate support.
