The HSE framework
[ch 1: page 14]The HSE has identified six causes of stress, which it calls “risk factors”:
• the demands of the job;
• control over work;
• the support from managers and colleagues;
• relationships at work;
• role in the organisation; and
• change and how it is managed.
These factors are the basis of the HSE’s approach to tackling stress, launched in 2004 — the Stress Management Standards (see page 42).
