The survey results are in...... Thanks to everyone that completed our "Safety Professional - are you ok?" survey. The results were thought provoking, and in light of Blue Monday just passed (15th Jan) we share some of our thoughts here. We discuss the state of mental health surrounding the safety profession, how our sleep is affected, the challenges that exist relative to workload, loneliness and isolation, uncertainty, and prioritising our own ambitions. We give our thought on the notion that "good is expected", as well as the importance and power of networks, communities and peer to peer support, along with challenges between individual occupational groups and industry wide sharing.
We'd also love you hear your thoughts - do you think it would be valuable to know more about actual issues and events as and when they're happening to trigger discussions on H&S topics, and how the consultant network can come together on this for the greater good of the profession?
