A follow-up - there is no good evidence base for the use of these tools in risk assessment and HSE has made this very clear in its guidance on stress in the workplace. They are very useful research tools, but that is a different matter - Kate

Clare (and others),
Be aware that OSI (in common with many other such psychological
questionnaire) is Copyright.
In any case, its interpretation without access to a large databank of
benchmark organisations is useless. OSI has also been superseded by 2 other
instruments.
I suggest you contact either Professor Cary Cooper at UMIST or Dr Steve
Williams of Business Health

Has anybody out there got a copy of the OSI Occupational Stress Indicator
that they could send me as an attachment? Has anyone designed a
psychological risk assessment for use in Higher Education? I would be
grateful if you would share this.
Thank you
Clare
