Bringing a Claim for Occupational Stress
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,
workplace 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
