Psychosocial risk factors are responsible for more than 840,000 deaths annually, nearly 45 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost each year, and an estimated annual loss equivalent to 1.37 per cent of global GDP. 

What happens at work follows us home. It shows up in how we think, how we feel, how we speak to the people closest to us, and how much of ourselves we have left at the end of the day.

On April 28, two global days are recognized, each carrying a distinct yet deeply connected purpose. The National Day of Mourning asks us to remember those who have lost their lives, been injured, or become ill because of work. World Day for Safety and Health at Work asks us to look forward, to strengthen prevention, and to improve the conditions in which people work.

In today’s workplaces, where values such as Zero Harm and commitments that everyone goes home safe and well are clearly stated, a tragedy or accident does not remain isolated. It impacts everyone. For those closest to the individual, it can alter life in ways that cannot be reversed. For others, it leaves a quiet but persistent question, “what if that were me?”, creating an undercurrent of fear that continues to operate in the background of their daily work.

Build defensible psychosocial hazard prevention capability through competency in identification, assessment, and control, aligned with ISO 45001 and ISO 45003, and supporting Work Health and Safety (WHS) compliance.
