Stress Risk Assessmest
At DuoDynamic Safety Solutions, we understand that workplace stress is one of the most significant health and safety challenges facing UK businesses today. With 776,000 workers reporting work-related stress, depression or anxiety, the need for comprehensive stress risk assessments has never been more critical.
We provide expert stress risk assessment services that help you identify, evaluate and control workplace stressors before they impact your team's wellbeing and your business's performance.
Why Stress Risk Assessments Matter
Workplace stress is a business-critical health and safety concern.
Employers have a legal duty to protect employees from stress at work by doing a risk assessment and acting on it, treating stress risks with the same importance as physical hazards.
​
The Business Impact of Workplace Stress:
​
-
Legal Compliance: Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers must assess and manage stress risks in the workplace.
-
Financial Protection: Prevent costly absence, reduced productivity and potential compensation claims through proactive stress management.
-
Employee Wellbeing: Create a supportive workplace culture and positive safety culture that attracts and retains talent whilst improving job satisfaction.
