Stress and Mental Health: The Unseen Hazards in Workplace Safety

As we enter into year three of the pandemic, mental health is becoming more of a safety risk. Trauma fatigue is real and we’re all feeling it. But it’s a subject that isn’t really talked about in terms of workplace safety. On this week’s episode, Apolonia and Seth are talking about stress in the workplace and putting more of an emphasis on mental health in safety programs. Topics that Seth and Apolonia discuss in this episode: * Why it is needed to talk about stress and mental health There can be a “figure it out on your own” mentality Why does it need to be addressed from a corporate level? * Healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms * Stress as an unseen hazard The repercussions of not addressing mental health as a hazard To see Apolonia’s feature profile, visit https://www.forbes.com/30-under-30/2022/education Apolonia Rockwell is the Founder and CEO of True Safety Services and True Safety University.
