Estudo denuncia situação de suicidios relacionados ao trabalho

Work-related suicides are not counted
Cases of suicide clearly linked to work are going uninvestigated, unrecorded and ignored by the UK workplace safety regulator, new research has found. The Leeds University study, funded by Research England, analysed 12 suicide cases over the period 2015 to 2020 from different occupations and sectors. In 11 of the 12 suicides investigated, organisational or managerial workplace factors were identified as a dominant causal factor. The study found that employee suicides are still largely treated as an individual mental health problem that has no direct relevance for work or the workplace. It points to serious regulatory gaps, noting: There are no Health and Safety Executive (HSE) inspections of workplaces following a single suicide or multiple suicides by employees linked to factors at their workplace; there is no information collected on suicides that occur in the workplace or that are identified as work-related; and that suicide is excluded from the Joint Protocol on Work-related Deaths. Employers are not obliged to undertake an investigation following a suicide, implement any changes to workplace policies or practices or put suicide prevention measures in place, the researchers add. The employer launched an independent investigation into the suicide(s) to identify and address underlying causes in only 4 of the 12 suicide cases investigated. A coroner’s Preventing Future Deaths report was only issued in three of the cases, despite material evidence of work-related causality in all 12 cases. In nine of the cases, the employer was aware of work-related problems affecting the employee prior to the suicide, as these had been reported to managers or colleagues or documented in staff appraisals. The research authors recommend including suicide in the list of work-related deaths that must be reported to the HSE under the RIDDOR reporting requirements. The report also calls for explicit and enforceable legal requirements that oblige employers to take responsibility for suicide prevention and to undertake a full and transparent investigation in the aftermath of a suicide in the workplace or where there is evidence the suicide could be work-related.
