Work-related stress is a major cause of occupational ill health. This can result in sickness absence, high staff turnover and poor performance. HSE's Management Standards will help employers, employees and their representatives manage the issue sensibly and minimise the impact of work-related stress on businesses.

The Management Standards represent a set of conditions that reflect high levels of health, well-being and organisational performance. Following the advice in this guide will help to identify the gap between current performance and these conditions. It will also help employers to develop their own solutions to close this gap. This advice is aimed at anyone with responsibility for co-ordinating the stress risk assessment, human resources managers, health and safety officers, trade union representatives or line managers.

HSG 218 also includes a CD-ROM which contains additional guidance and analysis tools.

What is stress?

Stress is the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressures or other types of demand placed on them. There is a clear distinction between pressure, which can create a 'buzz' and be a motivating factor, and stress, which can occur when this pressure becomes excessive.

How big is the problem?

About 1 in 7 people say that they find their work either very or extremely stressful (Psychosocial working conditions in Britain. in 20071)

In 2005/06 just under half a million people in Great Britain reported experiencing work-related stress at a level they believed was making them ill

Depression and anxiety are the most common stressrelated complaints seen by GPs, affecting 20% of the working population of the UK

When stress leads to absence" the average length of sick leave is 30.1 days (Labour Force Survey 2005/062). This average is much higher than the average length of sick leave for work-related illness in general (21.2 days).

A total of nearly 11 million working days were lost to stress, depression and anxiety in 2005/06

HSE research in 2003 into offshorework3 found approximately 70% of common work-related stressors are also potential root causes of accidents when they were caused by human error.
