It’s hard to put a band-aid on the brain.
That’s where a new website from WorkSafe Saskatchewan comes in. It aims to help any worker or employer in the province navigate stress on the job.
“Over the past several years, we’ve seen Saskatchewan workplaces dealing with unique psychological health and safety challenges. That reinforces the importance of providing Saskatchewan employers and workers with the tools they need to support mental health and safety in their workplaces,” Kevin Mooney, the Workers’ Compensation Board’s vice-president of prevention and employer services, said in a news release.
The psychological health and safety resource centre has information, videos, webinars and workshops that can be accessed.
The release also said the centre provides answers to some commonly asked questions about psychological health and safety and lists contact information for community mental health resources in Saskatchewan.
While psychological health claims account for only a small percentage of total workplace injury claims in the province, the numbers have more than doubled in the past five years. In 2016, 109 claims of this nature were made. In 2020, 274 claims were submitted.
