The TUC Stress MOT

The TUC’s Stress MOT has been widely used by safety reps and has two elements:

• a people survey designed to assess whether peoples’ work is making them stressed; and

• an organisation survey which checks how well employers are managing the risks of stress among their workforce.

Workers completing the people survey are asked to say how much some of the known causes of workplace stress are affecting them. Safety reps who complete the Stress MOT are asked to draw a workplace stress map, noting the percentage of workers in each area of the workplace who feel that stress is causing them harm.
