Definition of Stress

The confusion created when one's mind overrides the body's desire to beat or choke the living sheet
out of some ssssole who desperately needs it.

Work related stress is classed as a recognisable hazard now, in industry. And should be risk assessed.

LOL They have to by law. Same for any other hazard and any other UK company. The onus is on the employer. All part of the Health and Safety at Work Act.


"Employers have duties under the “Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations,” 1999, to assess the risk of stress-related ill health arising from work activities; and under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, to take measures to control that risk. The Management Standards are not legal requirements – they are guidance which is intended to help and encourage employers to meet their legal obligations."

Work stress 'raises heart risk'

"Having a highly demanding job, but little control over it, could be a deadly combination, UK researchers say.

They analysed 13 existing European studies covering nearly 200,000 people and found "job strain" was linked to a 23% increased risk of heart attacks and deaths from coronary heart disease.

The risk to the heart was much smaller than for smoking or not exercising, the Lancet medical journal report said.

The British Heart Foundation said how people reacted to work stress was key."

Oh dear...more employment law on the way from the nanny state ? :rolleyes:

Soon HR will be absorbing even more of the profits by running anti-heart disease stress-counseling...for people who probably shouldn't be doing the job anyway, if they're SO unhappy. :NoNo:

IMO a lot of people make their own stress by being over-ambitious.
If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
Yes, you may have to buy a smaller house and a smaller car (oh the humiliation), but you might also live a healthier and more relaxed life.

Its actually a massive problem, Graham. Not just the odd few. And what UK employer's haven't fully cottoned on to is the number of man hours lost per year to the problem.

However, the times they are a changing and slowly but surely it is being recognised along with any other hazard. The law is in place, just needs companies to fall foul of it and get fined etc.... My previous employer started to recognise it a couple of years ago.

I am not sure if the answer to exposure to work related hazards is to move job. The answer is to remove the hazards in place at work.

"By the term work related stress we mean the process that arises where work demands of various types and combinations exceed the person’s capacity and capability to cope. Think of this as ‘bad work’. It is a significant cause of illness and disease and is known to be linked with high levels of sickness absence, staff turnover and other indicators of organisational underperformance - including human error."


"Recent statistics confirm that work related stress is widespread in the UK working population and is not confined to particular sectors or high risk jobs or industries. That is why a population-wide approach is necessary to tackle it."

From the HSE.

http://www.hse.gov.uk/stress/furtheradvice/wrs.htm

Personally, I have a stress free job, but not everyone is in that position. And for their sake I would like to see stress, as a hazard, addressed properly in the workplace.

lastlid
14th September 2012, 14:53
And here are some stats from the HSE website.

"The total number of cases of stress in 2010/11 was 400 000 out of a total of
1 152 000 for all work-related illnesses."

( Thats 35% of all work related illnesses ) Thats a lot of people to simply turn their back on their job to avoid stress and not what I would want to advise the thread starter, Steve.

"The industries that reported the highest rates of work-related stress in the last three years were health, social work, education and public administration."

Well thats a shame for those who are affected by the hazard, along with any other workplace hazards.

Oh well....

I would say that HSE has helped enormously in the oilfield sector in the UK. Yes, annoying though they may appear to be. But better that than injure or kill people at work. I have seen a lot of changes in the oil industry over 30+ years and I have to say HSE, overall, has been for the better, for the employee. Also, it makes sound business sense. For example, oil companies won't take on rigs with a bad safety record. Neither will they take on third party service companies with a bad safety record.

I would say that it easy to dismiss work related illness injury and death until it has happened to you or someone you know.

Interesting that you mention common sense. Do you know where that can be bought? Who has it in abundance every minute of the day? Most folk don't use it all of the time, especially under stress - the human factor.

Its an interesting fact that many countries in the world actually aspire to UK standards on Health and Safety practices. Many oil companies internationally use the UK as a benchmark. Many people outside of the oil industry come to the UK to be trained in Health and Safety or use UK based institutions for their training. NEBOSH is recognised worldwide.

And I hope, sincerely that if shale fracking happens up in Yorkshire, that the HS and E boys have some say in procedures, for the benefit of the local population and that Cuadrilla don't blow the arsenal out of your back yard....

I agree. But the difference between you and me and others is where the cutoff point is. I think that making people ill at work because the employer wants to maximise profit sooo much that they can't employ another person to share the workload, is not on and people need to be protected against that - or any other corner cutting by the employer that puts people at risk.

So, should airlines for example be less safe, take more risks, because of it? Just one for instance. As in "okay, we will drop our safety standards to sell you a cheaper ticket so that we can stay in business, but we might not get you there in one piece" - is that okay?

If the government interference means saving lives then so be it, surely? Again this needs to be looked at in terms of our nearest and dearest. How would we feel if someone we knew / family was injured or died owing to an employer corner cutting on safety? Would we say, "it's okay, the employer was struggling to make a profit"?


If our aunt or nephew or brother or son or daughter or wife said " I have been off work for 6 months as the workload is making me ill" would we say "tough...get another job as the employer has to make a profit"?

Basically, all that is being said is that it is not on for an employer to abuse his / her work force in pursuit of profit. That means not exposing employees to hazards, including occupational stress. Occupational stress as a hazard is slowly being recognised. And rightly so.

HSE is a good thing. It is designed to protect the workforce from unscrupulous employers.

Dont you think that is a good thing Graham?

I can't recall many times during my membership here when moderation on etiquette has been required.

Everyones input to threads is valued for it's content and I'd like to think we can all respect the views of others, even if we don’t agree with them.

There's nothing wrong to disagree with others, as long as we can encourage debate about the topic at hand rather than letting it deteriorate into personal insults.

If you feel that you have been personally insulted, report it to the moderators.
Try to avoid perpetuating a personal dispute.

The moderators will take a look at the offending comment and decide whether it should be removed.

Sometimes it's hard to know what to do when someone makes a thoughtful remark that is insulting to your convictions, values or beliefs.

It's even harder when that person wasn't thoughtless at all, but made a pointed effort to be insulting

But please remember that if a fellow forumer posts an opinion that you don’t agree with, you have no right to demand that they support their position with a detailed argument. They do not have to respond to your questions. It is up to each individual to participate in the forum as much or as little as they wish.

Finally can I say please respect the members and not least the moderators.
The moderators job is not only to keep the forum safe from spammers and trolls but also to ensure that everyone has their fair say in a fair way.

Here endeth the lesson.
This is a forum, it's the internet, cyberspace.

This thread has shown, if nothing else, that stress – the feeling of being under too much mental / emotional pressure, usually related to work, relationships and/or money problems – does vary between individuals.

Of course health and safety regulations and occupational health services should help. A visit to your GP should also be considered – blood pressure may be raised with no symptoms other than stress which is contributing to it.

Relationships may be for real; sometimes long distance with people we have met; sometimes purely on the internet such as the majority of members on this forum. They can certainly be stressful, but hopefully soon be resolved, whether related to misunderstandings or visa applications.

Money problems can be helped by forming priorities with careful budgeting, but even insolvency is not the end of the world. Health is a higher priority.



The Lancet article quoted ( http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(12)60994-5/fulltext )
should be put in context. Nearly 50 authors carried out a meta-analysis ( meaning they looked at other researchers’ work ). This confirmed what common sense would have suggested. Workplace stress appears to slightly increase the chance of heart attacks - if the stress could be eliminated, a few might be prevented. Of far more importance are other “ lifestyle choices “ , perhaps linked to stress, especially smoking, inactivity, obesity, and drinking excess alcohol.

It’s worth pointing out that to read the article in full you would need to pay “ 31.5 US dollars “ . This benefits the Lancet, not the research workers. Research - financed by taxpayers or charities - SHOULD be available free and online ; from next year the UK government intends that it will. This should thereby reduce stress and misunderstanding caused by inability to read the original articles!

It’s impossible to do more - on a forum such as this - than to give general advice such as may be found here :- http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/Pages/understanding-stress.aspx ,

I will stick to what I know and say that many companies now risk assess for stress as a hazard at work. This is an ongoing and developing thing as we speak. They do so for a range of reasons, mainly because they have to. And they have to because of the many instances of stress related illness in the workplace. One of my many roles involved the compilation of risk assessments in the workplace for what is a top 500 company in the world. They take it very seriously. And so do many other companies. It doesnt make financial sense to them to ignore it.

For those companies that aren't risk assessing for stress then they ought to be, lest they want to invite a claim against themselves or lose a portion of their workforce for significant periods of time.

People make mistakes under such circumstances. We have, to a degree, assumed negligence or ineptitude but there is a third valid possibility - understaffing is a root cause.

Steve. They already have. Its been happening for a while now. Of course one would have to pick a better lawyer than Injurylawyers foru or the like. There are some great lawyers in Aberdeen that have ripped local employers to shreds over injury claims, where they have been wilfully negligent. Most made their name over the Piper Alpha catastrophe, the back of which both sensible and in some cases not so sensible HSE was implemented in the UK oil industry.

Neither an insult or a compliment. Simply saying that I don't need to agree with you just for the sake of it. You talk a lot of nonsense at times, Graham, but you need someone to tell you that from time to time.

Anybody that comes in with a different slant seems to get the treatment from you. I have seen a few folk come on here like a breath of fresh air but because they don't see eye to eye with your particular way of thinking, you go after them like a rabid dog.

Try and allow some other opinion to permeate the forum.

Andy.....this is the post you disliked .....as you can see, it was Lastlid's creation...all I did was change the name from Graham to Lastlid.

Sorry for having to spell it out...obviously im on a
different wavelength to a few others here.

Btw...whoever just awarded me a reputation, thank you very much :)
