ILO World Day for Safety & Health at Work
The International Labour Organisation (ILO) marks its World Day for Safety and Health at Work tomorrow (28th April). World Day is an international campaign to promote safe, healthy and decent work around the globe.
This year’s theme is Workplace Stress. Well-designed, organised and managed work is good for us but when insufficient attention to job design, work organisation and management has taken place, it can result in work related stress. Work related stress develops because a person is unable to cope with the demands being placed on them.
Stress, including work related stress, can be a significant cause of illness and is known to be linked with high levels of sickness absence, staff turnover and other issues such as increased errors and mistakes.
Stress can hit anyone at any level of business and research shows that work related stress is widespread and is not confined to particular sectors, jobs or industries.
For further information on work related stress and how to assess and tackle the issues please contact CPC Health and Safety.
