RA032 - Work-Related Stress Risk Assessment

Work-Related Stress Risk Assessment

This risk assessment is for salon owners and managers who want to spot and reduce the causes of stress at work before people become unwell or leave. Salons have their own pressures: back-to-back bookings, running late, difficult clients, targets on retail and rebooking, Saturday rushes, and small teams where one absence hits everyone. It works for a salon with three staff or thirty, and uses HSE's Management Standards as the framework.

What you'll get

• Why stress is a health and safety risk you must assess
• The six HSE Management Standards and what they look like in a salon
• How to talk to your team using HSE's Talking Toolkit
• A worked salon example and a blank assessment to complete
• How to review your assessment and keep it alive
