Mental health is just as important as physical safety at work — yet it’s often overlooked.
From rising stress levels and burnout to anxiety and depression, modern workplaces face a growing challenge: supporting employee mental wellbeing while staying productive and compliant.
At Ireland Safety Training, we offer a fully online, CPD-certified Mental Health in the Workplace course, designed to help Irish and UK employers create healthier, more resilient teams through awareness, prevention, and empathy.
In Ireland, mental health issues cost employers millions annually due to:
Reduced focus and performance
Long-term absences
Increased staff turnover
Poor morale and workplace conflict
Training your team to understand mental health helps create a more supportive, communicative, and productive culture.
While not all mental health training is mandatory, employers are obligated under:
Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 (Ireland)
Employment Equality Acts 1998–2015
UK Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
To:
Provide a safe workplace — including psychological safety
Prevent bullying, harassment, and work-related stress
Support reasonable accommodations for mental health conditions
This course helps ensure your policies align with law and best practice.
Without proper training, managers may:
Miss signs of distress
Respond inappropriately
Fail to escalate or support staff correctly
This course empowers leaders to approach sensitive topics with confidence and care.
Suitable for employees, supervisors, HR teams, and managers across all industries.
Modules include:
What is mental health? Understanding common conditions
Workplace stress, anxiety, and burnout
Early warning signs and behavioural changes
How to talk about mental health at work
Reducing stigma and encouraging openness
Workplace adjustments and support strategies
Mental health and employment law (Ireland & UK)
The role of managers and HR in wellbeing

Self-care strategies for individuals and teams
Interactive content includes real-life examples, reflection exercises, and a short quiz.
