Stress Awareness

CIEH Stress Awareness
One Day

A stand alone Level 1 qualification aimed at raising awareness of likely sources of work related stress, the range of symptoms it can cause and the options available for its control.

While the qualification is aimed at general workers, it would provide a suitable introduction to the issue of work related stress for more senior staff.

Successful completion will prepare students to look carefully at their own work activities and contribute to the development of strategies to combat work related stress, in co-operation with their managers and supervisors.

Topics covered

Definition of stress
Stress as an occupational health hazard
Identification of basic workplace stressors
Development of basic controls for work related stressors
Responsibilities imposed under UK legislation

The programme is delivered over one day - course programme to be announced.

The assessment is by means of a review of the students’ own work practise and is designed to be completed under tutor supervision following the training.
