“Pass” or “fail” the MOT?
[ch 5: page 55]If a workplace “fails” the MOT, the TUC advises safety reps to press for a proper risk assessment and stress audit to be carried out. As a guide, the TUC suggests that a workplace has failed its stress MOT if:
• more than a fifth of respondents exhibited one or more health symptoms in the ‘‘how are you?’’ section of the people survey; or
• there are any stressors where more than a quarter of respondents circled the top score of ‘‘5’’; or
• there are five or more ‘‘fails’’ in the organisation survey.
