Do You Have Health and Safety Mental Health Gaps?
Meeting your statutory responsibilities for employee wellbeing can be daunting, especially considering that very often it’s expectations that have been acquired without training.
That wouldn’t be allowed for the staff you are responsible for, so why should it be acceptable for you.

Statutory Mental Health Health and Safety Duties
The legal requirements relating to mental health of staff exist in multiple countries. For example, in the UK the Health and Safety Executive state that “Employers have a legal duty to protect workers from stress at work by doing a risk assessment and acting on it. This is the same duty you have to protect people from other health and safety risks.“
We work with organisations around the globe who are concerned that they are not completely meeting their statutory duties, there are gaps in their provision or even they feel so overwhelmed that they don’t know where to start. This is the one area of Health and Safety that people don’t talk about, it’s the most complex and the most important in the post-pandemic workplace.
We want you to feel empowered to have confidence in your abilities in risk assessing and meeting the mental health requirements of your organisation.
We have a range of solutions to help you be assured that you will walk away with the skills and knowledge that you require.
Mental Health Risk Assessment
The most common problem that people encounter with risk assessing mental health is the sheer number of variables, it can feel complex and secondly most people tell us that they haven’t been trained how to undertake mental health risk assessments.
Our team have years of experience in undertaking these and training staff what to do and when. We take the strain off of you whilst helping you to become the expert.
We offer solutions for:
Risk Assessing Mental Health
Understanding the hazards, categorising them, identifying controls and plugging the gaps through our 5-step process.
Health and Safety Response
Responding to staff disclosing workplace mental health difficulties or stress.
Mental Health First Responders
Simpler than Mental Health First Aid, shorter training, to increase willingness and ability to help in a crisis.
Risk Assessing Mental Health
Organisations have a duty of care to protect their staff from mental health hazards, such as workload, role ambiguity or the impact of introducing new technologies or systems.
We also recognise that this process often takes people out of their comfort zones into areas that they haven’t been trained for or have no expertise in, such as Human Resources.
We’ve therefore put together a number of options to help you meet your legal responsibilities and plug any gaps in your provision. These take you through the five steps for risk assessing mental health.

Responding to Staff Mental Health
When a staff member discloses that they are experiencing work-related mental health or stress difficulties, you have a duty to respond to them.
This should include factors contributing towards their stress and reasonable adjustments that are being made in the workplace.
To do this, many businesses use the Individual Stress Risk Assessment Tool. This is a Tool that should be completed at direct line-management level whenever possible. It is completed with the staff member prior to any arrangements or signposting being put in place. This Tool then forms part of your organisation’s evidence of meeting legal duties around care for staff.
To support the roll out of the Tool across organisations, we have developed solutions to train managers, HR professionals and others who may be involved in completing the Tool with members of staff.

Mental Health First Responders
Mental Health First Aiders are there to act in an emergency, just the same as First Aiders, they recognise a number of conditions and provide emergency aid. Appointed persons are given life-saving skills training to act in an emergency. Likewise, Mental Health First Responders are trained to act in an emergency – when a colleague is in distress, crisis or overwhelm.
Mental Health First Responders and Mental Health First Aiders are not a control measure to reduce the likelihood of staff mental health difficulties, they do, however form part of your organisation’s response to a mental health emergency and ensure someone is safe and that they are able to access the care they need.
