Look into mental health at work


Environmental factors plus a stressful lifestyle can spawn free radicals that are much more than what the body’s antioxidants can handle.

ANY proposed amendments to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 1994 should include a provision to provide a supportive environment to foster mental well-being at all workplaces.

The government and employers must be aware that the neglect of mental health and psychosocial factors in the workplace is not only detrimental to the individual worker but also directly affects productivity, efficiency and output of any organisation. Accidents at workplaces can be caused not only by poor work safety practices but also by mental health issues.
