As we support Nova Scotia workplaces in getting ready for Safety and Health Week May 6-11, this year, we’re focusing on psychological health and wellness.
Gradual Onset Psychological Injury becomes compensable in Nova Scotia in September. And, as always, creating psychologically healthy and safe workplace will help your workforce be protected from mental health injuries – from hazards like bullying and harassment – just like they are from physical hazards.
We’re developing new materials and learning from others. But, in the meantime, during Mental Health Month, and as you plan your workplace’s Safety and Health week, there’s a lot you can do to start getting ready now.
