 The topic which we are going to discuss is personal safety. In the case of personal safety, first of all, we must know the workplace stress. Workplace stress defined as workplace stress involves the emotional state resulting from a perceived difference between a level of occupational demand and a person's ability to cope with this demand. If we look at the definition of this, there are two concepts. 1. Level of occupational demand, what is your occupation and what is your demand? 2. Human ability to fulfil that demand. If there is a difference between these two, then there will be workplace stress. An environment that a worker finds stress-full by generating feelings of tension, anger, fatigue, confusion and anxiety. These are the different examples from which you have an idea that workplace stress exists. Sources of workplace stress. Workplace stress has some sources which are very important to know. 1. Task complexity, control, feelings of responsibility, job security. The many topics written by the students for you, their purpose is that whenever you look at the sources of workplace stress, then look at these topics. If you look at them one by one, then task complexity starts from here. If you do not understand the task, then how can you complete that task? From here only problematic issues will start. Control, you have 10 employees working under you, you do not have control, how you will manage the things? 2. Workplace stress. The task is not important to take. It is important to perform it. You have a responsibility, you have promoted from deputy manager to be a manager. But you do not feel responsibility. You have a behavior that is from deputy manager. How you can get the work from your subordinates? It will leave bad impact. 3. Job security. In few private organizations there is lacking job security. Then what is the result? Result is workplace stress. If you do not give job stress to the employees, then the workplace stress will end automatically. 4. Work schedule. The work schedule does not have a proper duty rostrum issue. On daily basis, you do not know what the task you will perform on a daily basis. 5. Home and family problem. Sometimes it may have been seen that there is some problem in your family issues. If there is a problem in your family issues, then the result will be the performance of that worker will be declined. 6. Work relationship. Work relationship. These two things are saying that there is no relationship between workers. Or you are not satisfied with your work. So it is also one source of workplace stress. Work load demand. You are being given work. But you are not in this position to perform that work. It is the one source of job stress. 7. Last psychological sport. A person should be psychological fit to perform a GCB job. It is related to psychology. Psychology is called psyche mind. O is the connecting letter. Log is called study. Y is called process. Psychology, study of mind. Or a process which study mind is known as psychology. And those things that are related to mind are called psychological matters, psychological things. There is no psychological sport in you. Mentally you are not a present in your job. And physically you are present. If there is a gap between mental present and physical present, there is no physical sport. There is no psychological sport. It may be the one reason of your job stress. 8. Human reaction to workplace stress. Human reaction. When there is workplace stress, what will be the reaction of the human? These three things will exist. Human reaction to workplace stress may be grouped into the following categories. Subjective or emotional. You will feel anxiety, aggression or guilt. These things are related to your emotions and feelings. Behavioral. Behavior is the output of your attitude. What is in behavior? Accident. You are mentally present. What will happen? There may be some sort of injure. Accident, pronence or trembling. Physically you are present here. But you are not mentally present. Most of the people might have told you that actions speak louder than words. This means that the behavior of a person is judged not by his attitude. These are the concepts of the reaction of workplace stress. Human reactions to workplace stress. If they are seen further, then their link is also with cognitive. Cognitive is from cognition, cognition is from psychology. Psychology, I just told you, studies of mind speak louder. Physiological. Increased heart rate. And blood pressure. Some people take tension for work. Because of tension, your blood pressure gets higher. Some people get sugar. Organizational. There are two or three things in organizational. Absentism. Poor productivity. If you are absent or poor productivity, it means that there is something wrong in that organization. All these things are related to human reaction to workplace stress. If we define human reaction to workplace stress, then it is continual. It is persistent. Continual and persistent means it goes on for a long time in organizations. It is not like if a dissatisfied implies, then within a few days you will satisfy it again. There is a long-term process. We will make a diagram for the employee and design policies for the employee. There are policies that are benefited for the employees. Measurement of workplace stress. How can a workplace stress be measured? Absentism. Poor performance. Employee behavior. Anger. Aggression. Colleague relationship. Colleague dissatisfaction. If these factors exist, then it means that workplace dissatisfaction exists. Workplace stress exists in the organization. You can see these things from here. If you look specifically at these students, then subjective rating is there. Behavioral time-sharing techniques are there. Psychological techniques are there. But these three things that I have just mentioned are linked to them. Shift, Work, Satress, and Safety. Shift, Work can require some implies to work when the majority of the people are resting. Some implies that they are resting. You are required to work at that time. You have to apply the duty of those people at that time. This is very important. For example, on Saturdays and Sundays, normally holidays are there. You have to work on Saturdays and Sundays. If you call an employee, then the employee who is dissatisfied will have less chances of coming to the organization. The satisfied worker doesn't matter. It doesn't matter for that person whether there is a leave or not leave. He will perform his duties on the working day and he will also perform his duties on holidays. Why? Because he is a satisfied worker. Shift, Work has to additionally be required by the medical community. You know that there is a shift in the medical community. If a person is in a ward, in a general medical ward, or in a surgical ward, his duties are deteriorated. One duty is of 8 hours. Another duty is required of 8 hours. If he or she is a satisfied worker, then the double duty will also perform for the organization's favour. If the employee lags there, or the number of employees is less, if he or she is dissatisfied then the chances of the person performing his duties will decrease. Reducing the stress associated with work shift work. This is a very important point here that if you want to reduce the work shift stress, then how can you do it? 1. Encourage shift workers to exercise regularly. Encourage shift workers to avoid caffeine, alcohol, narcotics, or any other drugs which will affect the ability of the organization, which will affect the ability of the employees, or the ability to sleep. If you take care of these three things, then automatically the work stress will decrease within the organization. 2. Reducing the stress associated with shift work. This is the last point we have seen to your students. To reduce the stress associated with shift work, safety and health professionals can apply the following strategies. If shift workers can't sleep without some type of sleep aid, the food supplement. This is a very important point here. If someone is buying food supplement or medicine, to complete their sleep time, then these things are important for the short term basis, but they are not important for the long term basis. These things imply that the work place stress will increase and reduce.
