Why consider stress as a factor in workplace injuries?
A certain amount of stress is necessary for people to perform any sort of work. A problem with stress develops when the pressure to perform a task interferes with how safely the job is done. Injuries can increase when people are not focusing on the job at hand, or when they are expected to perform tasks beyond their physical capabilities. In Queensland the 1980's a workers compensation stress claim set a precedence in law when a decision was made that if stress contributed to even 1% of the injury, the claim was accepted. An avalanche of stress claims followed, many having very little to do with "stress". Today, it is very much harder to prove stress as the causal factor in workplace injuries, but it most certainly exists. Managing stress and preventing work injuries is all about risk assessing the type of job, how it is done, ensuring adequate training, good work ethics, safe work practices, and good management skills.
