Speaking about preventing burnout, lets talk about #mentalhealthawareness- shall I see you in Adelaide on the 23rd October? If you'd like me to book you in, just let me know! See you there:)

Today, I had a profound discussion with Capt. Pradeep Chawla about the critical challenges facing the maritime industry. Our discussion covered a wide range of topics, from sustainability and seafarer welfare to the role of technology in the future of shipping. Addressing the pressing challenges faced by seafarers, Capt Chawla shed light on the industry's need to better support these dedicated professionals. He spoke passionately about the mental health and well-being of seafarers, underscoring the significance of continuous mental health support during their prolonged periods away from home. Mental health remains a pivotal concern. Addressing this stigma is crucial to ensuring that seafarers receive the care and support they need, fostering a healthier and more productive workforce. He also discussed the importance of leadership in inspiring and guiding teams to prioritize sustainability and seafarer's welfare.

World Day for Health and Safety at Work, which takes place each year on 28 April, promotes the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases globally. It is an awareness-raising campaign intended to focus international attention on the magnitude of the problem and on how promoting and creating a safety and health culture can help reduce work-related deaths and injuries. This year focuses on exploring the impacts of climate change on occupational safety and health. Changing weather patterns have notable impacts on the world of work, particularly affecting workers’ wellbeing.

👷♂️ National Tradie Health Month 👷♀️ In August, we focus on raising awareness of the health and injury risks associated with trade occupations. We aim to support tradespeople, their families, and employers by providing the necessary resources and knowledge to promote worker well-being. Our efforts emphasise the importance of awareness and the adoption of safe practices within these physically demanding professions. According to the latest Key Work Health and Safety Statistics 2023, the findings reveal that: 🚩The cause of most work-related injuries in Australia were body stressing, Falls, slips and trips. 🚩Vehicle incidents and being hit by moving objects continue to account for most fatalities. 🚩Work-related mental health conditions are rising, with time off work in these cases more than four times longer than for other injuries. Adopting these quick and simple habits can significantly contribute to promoting a safer environment for your colleagues: ⭐Developing high quality risk assessment to identify relevant hazards and their controls measures. ⭐Ensure you have sufficient Height safety equipment such as fall arrest/fall restraint system (and understanding when each would be adequate). ⭐Wear appropriate PPE at all times however, understanding PPE is a last resort and other control measures should be considered. ⭐Check in on your mates, keep the conversation going around WHS (including mental health). #safetyfirst #safetecgroup #tradiehealthmonth #safetyculture
