"A recent survey of a random population sample showed that about 20 per cent of the workers reported very high or extremely high levels of stress at work. Preliminary analyses suggested that the scale of stress may vary considerably and the present report describes further analyses of the data reported in HSE Contract Research Report 265/2000. The aim of the analyses was to identify factors associated with perceptions of stress at work. The results do not allow conclusions about causal links between the overall effect though it did interact with other factors."
