Text reads: "How does psychosocial safety at work impact injury risk? An Institute for Work & Health study examined how psychosocial stress, when combined with physical hazards, affects workers' injury risk."
Text reads: "Psychosocial safety refers to an organization’s commitment to workers’ mental health and wellbeing. It is characterized by: how effectively leadership communicates and takes action to prevent workplace hazards that arise as a result of policies, job design or management practices (i.e., psychosocial hazards), and whether workers feel heard when they raise concerns about these risks."
Text reads: "1. The study found workers with poor psychosocial safety have more than 2x the risk of a work-related injury (physical and mental health) compared to workers with good psychosocial safety."
Text reads: "2. Workers who are exposed to hazards without adequate protections (e.g., organizational policies and practices) have more than 3x the risk of work-related injury (physical and mental health)."
