A practical conversation on stress, mental health, HR and Health & Safety 

You can’t always spot workplace stress. It can build quietly, affect performance, increase absence, and create risk long before anyone raises their hand for help. 

In this episode of Not Another Safety Talk, Citation’s Simon Edmund, David Taylor, and Kelly Kelman discuss why stress and wellbeing are now firmly on both the HR and Health & Safety agenda – and what you should be doing about it. 

What’s covered 

• Why stress is an “invisible hazard” you can’t ignore 

• How HR and Health & Safety responsibilities overlap 

• Signs of stress, presenteeism, and poor wellbeing 

• Why stress risk assessments need to be more than paperwork 

• HSE management standards: demands, control, support, role, relationships and change 

• How Employee Assistance Programmes can support your people 

• How important culture, leadership and manager confidence are 

• Key enforcement trends across workplace transport, contractors and off-site work 

• Fire safety updates, including residential PEEPs and fire risk assessor competence 

Why this episode matters 

Stress, anxiety and depression continue to drive huge levels of absence across UK workplaces. But the real risk often starts much earlier, in unclear workloads, poor communication, weak support, or a culture where people don’t feel able to speak up. 

In this episode, you’ll get practical ways to spot issues sooner, support employees properly, and build a healthier, safer workplace.
