In an ideal world, business owners and managers have the time and resources to implement every measure available to reduce operating costs as well as talking to your drivers and other workers about the challenges they face each day and how to best solve them. New laws that aim to prevent mental health injuries in the workplace focus on the second outcome, while helping achieve the first.
While legislative changes can come with onerous duties, the positive with the new workplace mental health injury laws is that organisations who are proactively preventing and addressing physical health risks will already comply with many of the new obligations.
