UK: New plan to help union reps banish work stress
A new TUC-backed guide is set to help trade union health and safety representatives tackle workplace stress. The resource, produced jointly with the UK regulator, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), is designed to help union representatives work with employers to find practical solutions to work-related stress. Last year 7 in 10 respondents to a TUC survey of more than 1,000 health and safety representatives identified stress as the top concern in their workplace. The new guide is based on the HSE 'management standards' in handling stress. It breaks down the causes of work-related stress into six key areas: demands; control; support; relationships; role; and change. The handbook proposes that a group – made up of representatives from every level of the organisation – gathers information on the current situation in the workplace and carries out a risk assessment based on the HSE standards. The group can then identify solutions such as tackling a long hours culture, improving workplace practices or increasing staffing levels. TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "Workers are increasingly suffering from the effects of workplace stress as pressures of long hours and low job security are taking hold across the UK. But it's in no-one's interest to have an overstretched workforce, as anxious staff are less productive and are more likely to take time off. And the HSE standards provide the best way of tackling the issue." She added: "Union representatives have a key role to play in working with employers to tackle this problem once and for all. Stress is preventable if workers have reasonable workloads, supportive managers and a workplace free from violence, bullying and harassment. Anyone worried about their workload or being unfairly treated at work should join a union, to get the support they need and their interests represented at work."
