Suicide awareness in the workplace
A new British Standard on suicide awareness in the workplace marks a significant development in the evolving landscape of health, safety, and wellbeing. This session will explore what the standard entails and how it can be practically applied to build safer, more open workplace cultures. Designed to encourage curiosity, compassion, and confidence in addressing suicide risk, the standard provides a framework for organisations to establish clear policies, foster dialogue, and integrate suicide prevention into their strategic health and safety approach. While compliance is an important consideration, the standard’s real value lies in driving meaningful change—helping organisations move beyond awareness toward proactive engagement. The business case is equally compelling; understanding the tangible costs of suicide-related impacts can prompt decisive leadership action. The session will also connect the new standard to existing frameworks such as ISO 45001 and ISO 45003, with discussion on how it may inform future international developments. This presentation will demonstrate how implementing the standard can transform organisational culture and reaffirm the shared responsibility of safeguarding life at work.
