Employment Law Solicitors:
Occupational Stress Claims
Where an employer fails to protect their employees from
occupational stress that goes onto develop into a positive
psychological illness, then they can be held liable for that
illness.
Occupational stress is defined as the adverse reaction
people have when they try to cope with tasks,
responsibilities, and pressures connected with their jobs,
but find difficulty in managing them. The main symptoms of
occupational stress are depression, anxiety, insomnia and
tiredness. Common causes of occupational stress include lack
of job security, poor conditions, harassment, bullying, lack
of child care, excessive hours, excessive demands, excessive
workload, poor training, bad management, etc. It is now
recognized that occupational stress can lead to
psychological illnesses such as clinical depression and post
traumatic stress disorder.
Employers will be liable for
occupational stress if:-
-
The employer failed to provide a safe place of work
-
The occupational stress the employee was subjected to was
sufficient to create a reasonably foreseeable risk of injury
-
The employer failed to do all that they reasonably could
to prevent the occupational stress from arising
-
The employee suffered a positive psychiatric illness as a
result of their occupational stress
