HSE ‘must investigate’ every work-related suicide
The Health and Safety Executive ‘must investigate every work-related suicide’, two top experts have said. Writing in the British Medical Journal, and criticising the explicit exclusion of suicides from HSE’s reporting requirements, the two professors note: “Whenever events at someone’s work seem to be linked to their suicide, it is reasonable to expect that everyone involved will want to find out what happened and how a similar event can be prevented from happening again.”

TUC demands work-related suicide probes
Work-related suicides should be reported by employers and investigated by the safety regulator, unions have said. The Trades Union Congress (TUC), teaching and other unions are all backing a change in Health and Safety Executive (HSE) rules so it investigates work-related suicides. The TUC said work-related stress is now at ‘epidemic levels.’ Under RIDDOR, employers have a duty to report workplace deaths, but with an explicit exception for suicides – unlike other countries.
