Psychological Health and Safety Bulletin “Psychosocial Risk Management & Global Development Goals”
The need for interdisciplinary and intersectoral solutions is increasing in order to reach the SDGs, which offer a window of opportunity for mental health, as it is an area that is central to collaboration between sectors and professions.
According to the latest estimates published by the ILO, 2.78 million workers die each year from occupational accidents and work-related diseases (2.4 million of which are due to illness) and 374 million workers suffer conditions related to non-fatal injury or impairment of health and well-being.
Besides the economic cost, damage caused by occupational accidents and work-related diseases also has an intangible cost that is not fully understood in these figures.
It is important that studies and practice focus on this issue because, as research and practice has repeatedly shown, risks to health and safety can be largely avoided.
The Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in September 2015 to 'meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'. It offers a roadmap to eradicate poverty, protect the planet, combat all forms of inequality and injustice, and is about better preserving the natural foundations of life and the planet for all, everywhere, and preserving the opportunity for people to live in dignity and prosperity for generations to come.
The Sustainable Development Goals are a call to action consisting of 17 universal goals. In the context of the universality of the Development Goals and the responsibilities it imposes on all individuals/institutions, it also inspires us to overcome obstacles and create new opportunities.
It is very important to remember that sustainable well-being is achieved when the improvement of individual well-being is associated with the improvement of the well-being of other members of society and the natural environment.
We have prepared this newsletter for you, believing in the importance of contributing to the well-being of individuals, communities and the planet.
Hope you read and disseminate.
