Well@Work Risk Management Survey
You need to know your risks before they can be mitigated.
Understanding and managing your risks is a critical sucess factor.
As an employer, you have a duty of care to ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of all employees.
All employees have a duty ‘to take reasonable care for the health and safety’ of themselves
and others who may be affected by any acts or omissions at work. Employees are also
expected to comply with any legal requirements or duty.
In addition, the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 state that employers should ‘make a suitable and sufficient assessment’ of any risks to the health and safety (this will include stress) of staff while at work and those who are not employed but may come into contact with the employer.
Managers have an important risk management role in assessing all risks for their team members. Their role in identifying and managing stress is critical in ensuring that the risk of stress is kept to an absolute minimum. Your Executives and Managers are responsible for conducting and implementing recommendations of risk assessments within their control. This requires education, training, supervision and continual improvement.
