The HSE Management Standards


[ch 11: page 191]

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) management standards set out good management practice for preventing work-related stress. They are voluntary guidance and are not legally binding. The standards come under the headings of six “stressors” — stress factors that cause illness. These are:


• demands;


• control;


• support;


• relationships;


• role; and


• change.


There is more information about the Management Standards on the HSE website (www.hse.gov.uk/stress/standards).
