Nearly 1 million workers in Great Britain are struggling with work-related stress.

That’s 964,000 people experiencing stress, depression or anxiety caused or worsened by their work — resulting in 22.1 million lost working days.

This isn’t just about wellbeing — it’s about how work is led, how it’s experienced day to day, and the risks organisations carry when it goes wrong.

And much of it is preventable.

Stress at work is often driven by how work is designed, organised, and managed — which means it can be reduced with the right action.

With Stress Awareness Month approaching, now is the time to act.

Throughout April, we’ll be sharing practical guidance from HSE’s Working Minds campaign to help you:
🔸 Spot risks early
🔸 Address root causes
🔸 Take simple, effective action

Because protecting mental health at work isn’t optional — it’s essential.

As of February 2025, there was a significant change to the CSCS card for Labourers.

On the 1st February 2025, the first application of the Labourer card ‘‘lifespan” reduced from 5 years to 2 years. This applies to all cards requested from the 1st Feb onwards, regardless of the course date.

Workers who continue to be employed as Labourers at the time the card reaches the expiry date will be able to renew the card for a further 5 years but must provide evidence that they are employed in a labouring role.
