An Overview of Occupational Mental Health: Challenges and Prospects for Nigeriainventionjournals
This document provides an overview of occupational mental health challenges and prospects in Nigeria. It discusses how work can positively or negatively impact mental health. While occupational stress and mental disorders like depression and anxiety pose challenges, Nigeria lacks frameworks for managing work-related mental health. Barriers include low prioritization of mental health, lack of support services, and high rates of casualized labor. Prospects include employers prioritizing employee welfare, strengthening laws against exploitation, providing mental health training and services, and addressing unemployment. Achieving occupational mental health requires efforts from employers, government, and mental health professionals.

This study investigated the relationship between job anxiety, occupational stress, and employee attitude towards management in the IT sector. The study surveyed 200 IT employees in Hyderabad, India between the ages of 24-36 using standardized scales. The results showed that occupational stress was significantly and negatively correlated with employee attitude towards management, indicating that higher stress predicted a more negative attitude. However, job anxiety was not significantly correlated with attitude. Additionally, female employee attitude was found to be more strongly negatively impacted by both job anxiety and occupational stress compared to male employees. No interaction effect was found between job anxiety and occupational stress in predicting attitude. The study concluded that IT companies should design intervention strategies to reduce different types of job-related stress and anxiety for both

This paper evaluates current case studies on how companies within the United States detect fatigue in the workplace, and how it is addressed through training. Workplace fatigue is one of the highest risks for safety sensitive positions and presents an imminent danger to employees and their coworkers. Corporations have developed ways to observe for fatigue, lack of training and acknowledgement many cases of workplace fatigue go under the radar and can eventually lead to an incident. Why is there such an influx of fatigue related incidents, and why are companies not better at recognizing the signs and symptoms of workplace fatigue? The intention is to suggest and recommend safe work practices for workers to combat fatigue before, during and after fatigue has set in. Corrective measures would include proper training, a well-balanced diet, and proper rest between each shift. This paper will also review sleep/wake cycles that moderate the human body and the way we mitigate workplace fatigue.

to participate in the study. The factors examined included age, gender, religion and marital status of the
respondents. Also, the respondents were classed into different stress personality types using the previously
standardized Emotional Stress Inventory Questionnaire (ESIQ). Common stressors were also identified. The
majorities of the respondents (78%) were less than 20 years of age, female (54%), single (96%), belong to the
Yoruba ethnic group (56%) and are Christians (91%). Also, 60% of the respondents belong to personality type
A. Top ten stressors causing moderate to high stress among respondents were academic oriented. However, the
major stressor was the fear of graduating (with a mean of 3.02±1.11). Policies and programmes geared towards
enhancing effective stress coping strategies, especially targeting key stressors, should be put in place by
appropriate educational ministries and by the University administration. Furthermore, Corroborative
intervention education should be designed and administered to University students by public and mental health
experts in order to help student develop personal coping skills and reduce stress on our campuses.

This document discusses risk management in construction projects. It covers three key elements of risk: hazards, exposure of people to hazards, and how work connects people to hazards. It presents a hierarchy of controls to manage risk. It also discusses typical organization of construction projects and how they operate in complex environments with various trades. Safety plans are important to define roles and manage risks through standards, procedures and critical controls. The purpose of safety is to prevent harm, protect people, and promote improved ways of working.
The document outlines Mike Hurd's workshop on "Safety in Design" at the 2023 South Australian Safety Symposium. The workshop will cover the 11 steps to consider for safety in design planning as part of the engineering design lifecycle. It emphasizes that safety should be built into the design from the beginning rather than added later. It also provides information on Mike Hurd and his company Engineering Systems Management, which focuses on safety engineering consulting.
This document provides information from a presentation given by Jason Mavrikis from SafeWork SA on psychosocial risk management. It begins with an acknowledgment of Aboriginal peoples and outlines SafeWork SA's mission to make South Australian workplaces safe. It then discusses the upcoming changes to WHS regulations regarding psychosocial hazards, including defining psychosocial hazards and risks. It outlines the duties of persons conducting businesses and workers. It also discusses identifying and assessing psychosocial hazards and risks, and controlling risks using a hierarchy of controls. Examples of tools for managing psychosocial risks are also provided.
The document provides an agenda for a WHS legal update on model manslaughter legislation in Australia. The agenda includes discussing the background of NSW OHS laws, the genesis of model legislation, how other jurisdictions interpret model laws, the criminalization of WHS laws, and other observations. The presentation will also cover how incidents are investigated, prosecution trends, predictability in prosecutions, and the use and need for lawyers in criminalized WHS matters. Contact details are provided for the two presenting partners.
This document summarizes a presentation about the 2022 Murray River flooding event. It describes how high rainfall led to major flooding from August 2022 to January 2023, with water flows peaking at 185GL/day. The response was led by the State Coordination Centre and involved extensive levee assessments, sandbag distribution, evacuation planning, and public information campaigns. Impacts included inundated roads and properties, debris in waterways, and economic impacts on agriculture and tourism. Safety concerns were addressed for emergency personnel working long hours in challenging conditions.

The document summarizes improvements made by Melbourne Water to make their design review process and safety training more clear, accessible, and effective. Some key changes included using virtual reality to identify 14 additional safety issues, developing mobile apps to replace paperwork and link to work order systems, shortening e-learning modules and focusing on threats over hazards, and engaging more of the organization in a "whole of life" safety approach. The results were reduced permits, improved safety ownership, and addressing long-standing industry problems.
This document discusses two plane crashes involving Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, both of which involved Boeing 737 Max planes. It suggests that the crashes may have been caused by issues with the Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), which was designed to automatically point the plane's nose down in certain conditions. However, MCAS relied on a single sensor and was not properly tested. The document argues that complex systems can reach a 'critical state' where small changes can lead to catastrophic failures, and that organizations like Boeing may undermine safety by not properly considering interactions within complex systems.
Coaching focuses on facilitating effective performance through questioning, feedback, and understanding perspectives. It is an equal relationship where the coach is the expert. Mentoring involves advising, sharing experiences, and guidance within a person's area of development. Coaching and mentoring differ in their goals - coaching aims to improve performance while mentoring provides relevant guidance. Both require clearly defining expectations, goals, challenges, and determining if goals were achieved. Effective coaching uses a framework of focusing conversations on the positive, the person's ownership of outcomes, understanding priorities, and ensuring necessary resources.
1. The document discusses strategies that managers in different industries used to indirectly influence positive change and increase psychological safety. A rural council increased EAP engagement from 0.5% to 12% in six months through outreach. A mining company increased engagement across remote sites from 0 to 4 sites in 12 months. A marine company reduced psychosocial hazards by 40% after implementing training.
2. It provides advice on understanding yourself, others, looking for opportunities to indirectly influence change, and being prepared. This includes understanding triggers, biases, organizational politics, and having data to support initiatives over the long term.
3. Indirectly influencing change requires patience, listening to understand real issues, educating on psychosocial hazards,
Sleep plays an important role in brain health by clearing out toxins and proteins. The brain goes through different sleep stages in cycles throughout the night, which aid in memory formation, immune function, growth, and more. Several sleep disorders can disrupt sleep, such as sleep apnea and insomnia. Poor sleep is linked to increased mortality risk and cognitive decline in older adults. However, lifestyle factors like exercise, diet, and avoiding smoking can help reduce dementia risk even in those genetically predisposed. Regular exercise can even stimulate neurogenesis and help manage conditions like Parkinson's disease. The document promotes getting sufficient, quality sleep and maintaining a healthy lifestyle for overall mental and physical well-being.
This document discusses the future of learning and development in safety by embracing technological advancements. It outlines how post-COVID training can utilize remote and virtual delivery methods. Instructional design should prioritize learners through evidence-based and rapidly developed content. Training delivery can be improved through immersive methods like gamification, mobile learning, virtual and augmented realities. Personalized and adaptive learning techniques tailor the experience for each individual learner. Continuous learning and reinforcement strengthen training messages outside of formal sessions.
1) The document discusses combining agile work methods with new views of safety. Agile methods like Scrum emphasize adapting to changes, delivering value fast through short sprints, and involving customers. This fits well with fast-paced environments and evolving projects.
2) Scrum is presented as a team-focused approach where customers see results regularly and can refine requirements. It revolves around short sprints that lower risk and improve stakeholder relationships.
3) The presentation considers how agile methods could help achieve safety deliverables like improvement initiatives, safety management systems, and learning management systems. It also examines integrating agile with views of safety as a dynamic risk and a user experience.
The document discusses how artificial intelligence and computer vision techniques can be used for health and safety applications. It provides an overview of artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts. It then describes how convolutional neural networks and the Viola-Jones algorithm can be used for computer vision tasks like face detection. Finally, it outlines the steps involved in using the Sobel edge detection operator to identify features in images.

Outline
3. Mental Health Human Costs
• The scale of mental ill-health in society is being described by
some as a crisis.
• According to the WHO (2016) the burden of depression and
other mental health conditions is on the rise globally.
• Mental health problems are a major contributor to the
overall disease burden worldwide accounting for 21.2% of
years lived with disability (Vos et al, 2013).
• Calls for national policy responses to tackle the rising burden
of mental health have come from the WHO and the ILO.
C E N T R E F O R
W O R K P L A C E
E X C E L L E N C E
4. Mental Health Human Costs
• In Australia 2014-15, almost one in five people had a mental
health or behavioural condition = suicide is the leading cause
of death for working age (ABS, 2015).
• Australia has the second highest level of antidepressant use
in the OECD (OECD, 2015).
• The problem is that only 52% of Australian workers consider
their workplace to be mentally healthy; 56% believe that
their most senior leaders value their mental health.

5. International Policy Moves
▪The Global Commission on the Future of Work (ILO, 2019a)
implores corporations to seize the moment and better align
the future of work with a human-centred agenda
▪ILO in Safety and Health at the Heart of the Future of Work
(2019b) identified a specific gap in the research ‘How to
develop a Psychosocial Safety Climate?’ (p. 56)
maureen.dollard@unisa.edu.au
6. International Policy Moves
• Workplace burnout, was officially recognised (May 2019) by
the WHO and the International Classification of Diseases
(ICD-11) as “a syndrome conceptualised as resulting from
chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully
managed”, implying burnout is an occupational phenomenon
not a medical condition.
• AUS imminent changes to WHS legislation in relation to
Psychosocial factors

Bullying is a problem at some work-places and for
some workers. To label something, as bullying,
the offensive behaviour has to occur repeatedly
over a period of time, and the person confronted
has to experience difficulties defending him or
herself. The behaviour is not bullying if two
parties of approximate equal “strength” are in
conflict or the incident is an isolated event.
Have you been subjected to bullying at the
workplace during the last six months?

PSC and Workers’ Compensation in South Australia
Harry Becher & Maureen Dollard
Demographic variables (Socioeconomic status, gender, and age) were controlled in all analyses.
PSC was measured in 2010, workers compensation claims include those made between 2011 and 2014 Harry Becher Slide.
PSC and Workers’ Compensation Expenditure
PSC levels in organisations (AWB data) is significantly linked to
Expenditure in SafeWork SA data.
The average compensation claim in SA is $16,753.
The average PSC in this sample was 38.
Each PSC point above 38 can save approximately $580.
In a company with low PSC of 28 we expect average claim cost of
$22,550.
In a company with a high PSC of 48 we expect average claim cost of
$10,955.
$- $5,000 $10,000 $15,000 $20,000 $25,000

Use PSC as a KPI
Victorian Public Sector Leadership Group
endorsed the following key approaches to
assist employees (March 2018):
1. performance indicators relating to mental
health and wellbeing (related incidents,
training/instruction, induction, and employee
survey results)
2. to be used for each department's baseline,
measure improvement, and benchmark across
similar organisations to assist with continuous
improvement on learning and mental health
and wellbeing outcomes
(
Psychosocial
Safety Climate is
included in the
minimum data
set!!
41. PSC Observatory
• International and national data on PSC
• National policy analysis
• Intervention study within a large organisation
• ASX300 PSC index
• EAP intervention
• Industry 4.0, PSC, creativity, innovation, new risks
43. Conclusions
1. PSC is an evidence based leading indicator and risk factor, best target for stress
prevention/intervention (top management support, all levels involved etc).
2. PSC should be a KPI for strategic ethical management
3. Economists of a capitalist kind have too much say in running the world
