In this issue we have information on HSE's updated stress and mental health web pages, as well as details on the Working Minds campaign and how you can nominate a business for the 2021/22 'Risk-reduction through design' award. Visit HSE's stress guidance for further information. | | | Work-related stress is now the number one cause of employee sickness absence. There are areas of work design, for example demands and control, which can affect stress levels. Employers should manage these properly. We have redesigned and updated HSE's work-related stress and mental health web pages. Our new design will make it easier for users to find information more quickly, including guidance on mental health issues. Suicide at work is not RIDDOR reportable but our new guidance on suicide prevention encourages employers: - manage the risk
- support workers who may be suicidal
- support workers after an incident
Visit our website for guidance on managing work-related stress and supporting good mental health in the workplace. If you have any feedback or questions, you can contact us.  The campaign encourages employers to promote good mental health in work. Launched by Sarah Albon, HSE Chief Executive, at HSE's Health and Work Conference, Working Minds raises awareness about how to recognise and respond to the signs of stress. Major factors of work-related stress include workload pressures - tight deadlines, too much responsibility and a lack of managerial support. Working Minds is aimed specifically at supporting small businesses by providing employers and workers with advice that is easy to implement, including simple steps to introduce the principles of the stress management standards. Find out more about the Working Minds campaign. |  The award highlights the important contribution that design changes can make to reduce risks of musculoskeletal disorders in the workplace. There are no restrictions on the sector or size of business that can enter - both large and small employers are encouraged. The emphasis is on design solutions that have or can reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders for your workers. Nominations should be submitted by 31 January 2022.
