"Fix the job, not the worker."
The most effective method to deal successfully with hazards is to eliminate them. The points listed below should help to prepare a programme of stressor elimination in the workplace:

• divide a job into single tasks.
• write down all tasks that make unreasonable demands, using feelings as the only guide.
• consider the list of stressors presented in this Factsheet, to the most frequently occurring demands.
• work with colleagues and compare lists.
• prepare a final list of the most stressful events or circumstances. Most colleagues should agree on this list. A fairly objective list of stressors at your workplace will result if the majority of workers are consulted. When preparing the final list, prioritise the stressors for elimination.
• it is not possible to suggest solutions in general terms as they have to be tailor-made for any particular workplace.
