May marked Mental Health Awareness Month and Fisher Phillips took the opportunity to provide resources to employers in the mining industry. Employee mental health conditions in all industries have been found to adversely affect both safety and productivity in the workplace, and the mining industry is not immune.
While research on the effects of mental illness in the American mining industry is scant, research from other countries demonstrates that mining employees follow this same trend in needing support. With that in mind, mine operators can take steps to promote mental wellbeing in workplaces.
For information on where to start, make note of the following resources:
