UNOFFICIAL OHS DATABASE
It has been estimated that approximately 40% of workers compensation claims in Australia are in relation to stress, or more specifically anxiety and/or depression, since stress is not a considered to be a condition for workers comp purposes.
Because of this fact, stress as a topic page has been included in the database even though various aspects of it have been covered under different areas of the site (see Related Pages below).
The below links will provide information in regard to external factors and stress. However, internal factors such as cognition, life habits, personality disorders or psychiatric issues arguably and/or frequently play a larger role on whether work pressures affect a worker's health. At the very least, while you cannot always control your workflow or others in the workplace, you can at least exercise some control over your thought patterns and attitude towards life.
