Workplace Stress Prevention Checklist

This Checklist, which comes from the International Labour Organization, sets out a series of 53 potential risk factors and measures addressing them to consider in assessing mental stress hazards at your workplace and determining measures to control them.

Instructions: You can consider all 53 or just the listed items that fit the conditions of your own workplace. Read each item carefully. Mark NO or YES under “Do you propose action?”

• Mark NO: If the risk factor the measure addresses doesn’t apply to your workplace, the measure isn’t needed, has already been taken or isn’t appropriate;
• Mark YES: If you think the measure is worthwhile;
• Use the space under “Remarks” to write your suggestion or note its location.
