Not much was discussed on Serious Injuries & Fatalities at the #IOSH2017 conference this past couple of days. What we did hear was a lot on stress, mental health and well-being. These are all areas of the workplace already well served by other professional bodies such as the medical profession, counselors, psychologists, ergonomists, HR, etc. Does the Safety Profession really need to get so heavily involved in these areas, to the detriment of basic HSE? I have a horrible feeling that the UK Safety Profession is losing its way, by trying to be all things to all men (not meant to be sexist, sorry!), crossing professional boundaries and losing its focus on the basics that actually save lives and stop people being maimed. Am I right or am I being alarmist? What do you think?
