I've been watching this thread with interest.
Iain, have you thought about guiding managers towards including normally expected stressors in their general area risk assessments with a recommendation of detailed SRA under agreed standards for any susceptible individuals or those having identified problems?
Alternatively I believe that what you may be asking about is a concept that was advocated by a former colleague of mine, Dr Jacques Tamin - anyone out there got his contact details?

Hi Iain
I don't understand why you feel the HSE management standards (I'm presuming that is what you are referring to) are not appropriate as it is the most well researched tool available and was specifically designed to risk assess at an organisational level.

Karen

Afternoon All
Does anyone have a copy of a stress risk assessment policy that looks at performing the risk assessment from a group/cohort approach as opposed to the individual approach. We use the HSE methodology for the individual and it meets the NHSLA standards, but I feel that it is not appropropriate for use within a group setting eg risk assessing a ward as a whole. Would anyone have a copy of one that I could kindly peruse/borrow/nick or have as a belated christmas present please??
In addition, would any of you have a response template for DES/WSAs please as I would like to stream line our responses.
Thank you in advance and kind regards
Iain
