Stress Management
Stress Management : Used here to refer to three ways of dealing with workplace hazards that lead to stress and fatigue: eliminate, isolate and minimise. The HSE Act requires that these strategies be considered, in that order of priority. Examples of each are: - Eliminate: replacing level crossings with bridges so that it is impossible for trains and cars to collide. - Isolate: confine the work to special purpose areas; confine the performance of the work to specially trained people or teams. - Minimise: reduce the time of exposure to the stressor, provide prompt performance feedback and training if necessary, select the right people for the work and provide support
