World Mental Health Day: Supporting Health, Safety and Wellbeing at Work.

Rundlewalker Solicitors is proud to support World Mental Health Day, marked globally on 10 October, and the Health and Safety Executive’s Working Minds campaign, which encourages employers to recognise the early signs of work‑related stress and take practical steps to protect their people.

Across Devon and the South West, many of our key industries - including hospitality, agriculture, construction and skilled manual trades - face persistent pressures that can affect workers’ mental wellbeing. Long hours, physical demands, seasonal workloads and exposure to hazardous environments all contribute to stress, anxiety and fatigue.

The HSE reminds employers that mental health is a core part of workplace safety. Simple actions such as regular check‑ins, clear communication, realistic workloads and supportive supervision can make a meaningful difference.

Our Accident & Injury Team works with individuals and families affected by workplace harm, including cases where stress, unsafe practices or poor working conditions have contributed to injury or illness. We stand with the Working Minds campaign in promoting healthier, safer working environments for everyone.

If you have concerns about your health or safety at work.
Whether you are employed in construction, agriculture, hospitality, manufacturing or any other high‑risk sector, our team is here to help. For immediate, compassionate advice contact our Personal Injury Team who are ready to help you. 01392 209209.
