A one-day introductory workshop to understanding how individuals respond to excessive pressure in a project environment, the potential impact on their health and how project teams can plan to mitigate stress-related ill-health.
Background
Although stress-related ill health has always been an unfortunate aspect of working in construction, the problem appears to be growing. At the same time, the industry is being challenged to manage health as diligently as it does safety. Construction professionals have a key part to play in the development of a project culture that allows individuals and teams to meet the demands placed on them without anyone being exposed to excessive stress.
Why Enrol?
This training will give participants the opportunity to explore the current situation regarding stress in construction, including examining the latest statistics.
Participants will also explore the legal requirements in relation to stress, and will explore strategies for managing it in a project environment. Finally, participants will develop personal action plans to begin to address the management of stress in their own work settings.
The workshop considers a range of issues including:
- Effective project leadership
- Stress management
- Fatigue management
- Dealing with difficult people
- Understanding risk assessment in relation to health and how to apply it
- The role of the individual in creating a safe and productive work environment and
- The importance of supply chain management
This workshop draws on the
latest research,
methods,
tools, and other
information from organisations including the
Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the
Institution for Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), and the
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE).
