Work-Related Stress Is More Common Than You Think ⚠️

Work-related stress is one of the leading causes of sickness absence in the UK.

Pressure, workload, organisational change, conflict at work, lack of support — when these pressures become overwhelming, they can seriously impact both mental and physical health.

Signs of work-related stress may include:

• Difficulty sleeping 😴
• Anxiety or low mood
• Irritability
• Poor concentration
• Headaches or fatigue
• Increased sickness absence

For employers, unmanaged stress can lead to reduced productivity, higher absence rates, and potential legal risk under Health & Safety legislation.

For employees, it can affect confidence, wellbeing, and long-term health.

At Our Occupational Health, we provide:

✔️ Stress risk assessment advice
✔️ Fitness-for-work advice
✔️ Practical workplace adjustment recommendations
✔️ Support for managers handling sensitive cases
✔️ Guidance aligned with the Equality Act 2010

Early intervention makes a significant difference.

Are you looking after the skin of your employees?

🧴 Workplace Skin Health Matters 🧤

Did you know the most common work-related skin condition is dermatitis (irritant or allergic)? Other risks include sun-related skin cancer, burns, and infections — but the good news is most are preventable.

✅ The 4-Step Approach to Healthy Skin at Work:

1️⃣ Avoid / Substitute – Remove hazardous substances or switch to safer alternatives

2️⃣ Protect – Use the right gloves and protective clothing for the task

3️⃣ Cleanse – Wash hands properly with mild cleansers (avoid harsh scrubs or solvents)

4️⃣ Restore – Moisturise regularly to protect the skin barrier

👷‍♀️ Employer Responsibilities Include:

🔍 Carrying out COSHH risk assessments

📚 Training staff on skin care, drying hands properly, and correct glove use

🩺 Providing regular skin surveillance (every 2 years for high-risk roles)

Healthy skin supports healthy, productive teams — prevention really does start at work 💙
