One other instance of the unwillingness of occupational health and safety (OHS) regulators feeling ready to have an effect on change in workplace mental health by trying outdoors the workplace is the UK’s Health & Security Executive (HSE). Sadly this place contributes to unnecessarily stigmatising a legit workplace hazard.
On a current episode of the Safety and Health Podcast on workplace suicides, Professor Sarah Waters stated:
“Unlike other countries, unlike France, unlike the US, unlike most European systems, suicide, even where there are clear links to work is pretty much treated in the UK context as an individual mental health problem, there tends to be a denial on the part of the HSE on the part of other public agencies, that there is a link between suicide and work.”
