Health and Safety workers: the risk of work-related stress

Worker well-being is a central issue in human resource management. Among the factors that most influence health and productivity, work-related stress risk represents a significant challenge. SiQ’s specialized consulting, enables the assessment and management of stress risk, supporting companies in implementing effective solutions while complying with current regulations.

Occupational stress risk: a priority for companies

Work-related stress is a major cause of malaise among workers, with direct consequences on physical and mental health and business productivity.

According to theWorld Health Organization (WHO), chronic stress can cause serious illness and reduce work capacity. The main triggers include:

  • Excessive workload: tight timelines and high demands can generate anxiety
  • Lack of control: an ill-defined job role or a perception of powerlessness increases stress
  • Negative work climate: conflicting relationships or toxic environments amplify distress.

With the right support, however, companies can address these factors with a structured approach tailored to their needs.
