There are very sound reason why the OHA should NOT do them - they do not know what the job demands are more precisely, what the expectations are and more importantly what can be done about the issues.
I see my job in OH as promoting the effective relationship between employee and manager. I support the manager to succeed as they need it more than I do in terms of retention of employees. Employees who are unable to talk to their managers are usually the first to express symptoms of distress most of which can be accounted for by their lack of communication to the manager. The guidance and the documents around the HSE standards enable a pragmatic and unemotive look at all the issues in a language both can relate to without feeling defensive.
Get them doing it at all costs - your role may to train but really this is not rocket science - its all the website.
Good Luck

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] individual stress risk assessments
Hi
I was wondering whether anyone could provide advice on the following:- For individual stress risk assessments, do you, as the OHA, undertake them with the individual and their line manager, or can the line manager themselves complete them with their staff member?
Also, are managers expected to have received formal training before being able to/asked to carry this out? The individual stress risk assessment is based on the HSE’s model and is very straightforward.
I would be grateful for any replies.
Kind regards,
Sam
