This week is Stress Awareness Week, and while we spend much of our time talking about protecting people from dust, fumes and other airborne hazards, workplace health goes much further than that.
According to HSE, 964,000 workers experienced work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2024/25, resulting in 22.1 million working days lost.
Those are figures no employer can afford to ignore.
HSE reminds employers that they have a legal duty to protect workers from work-related stress. That means identifying the risks, listening to employees and taking practical action where workloads, communication, support, roles or workplace change may be creating unnecessary pressure.
Good health and safety is about protecting the whole person.
So, during Stress Awareness Week, perhaps the most useful question we can ask is a simple one - How are our people really doing?
