Stress
Because our work, social and family lives are so pressure packed, all too often workers are stressed out and experience symptoms they do not recognise as STRESS.
While there may be many contributors to our stress levels -both inside and outside work our work environment, it can be work related stress that can push us over the top.
Stress related Workers Compensation claims are according to available statistics sharply on the increase.
How then can STRESS be identified in the work-place?
Typical physical indicators can be for example: raised blood pressure levels; muscle tension; repeated headaches or Migraine; chronic fatigue; and upset tummy.
While psychological indicators can be for example: increased anxiety levels; depression; feeling overwhelmed and unusual aggression displays.
If any of the above are part of your everyday work experience then you may well be suffering STRESS in your work-place.
