Stress‐related safety problems cannot be avoided, but they can be managed. The overall goal of safety should be to develop standards, policies, procedures, and equipment that can be safely and effectively used when an individual is at less than 100 percent. Anyone can work safely when they feel great and can focus on their job with no distractions.
