About this certified Course

Work Related Health Risks

Prior to the COVID – 19 outbreaks in Ireland, The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) were highlighting the impact that stress in the workplace was having on employee mental health.

Employee Support Therapy

IOSH is urging its members to think safety, compliance, risk assessments, and employee support therapy to address the mental health issues that are now impacting the workplace. In May 2019, IOSH produced guidance for businesses on how they can design robust systems to manage the risk of mental health issues.

Impact of Stress on the Immune System

During periods of prolonged stress the immune system’s ability to ﬁght oﬀ antigens is reduced. That is why people are more susceptible to infections. The impact of stress on the immune system and infections is well established and the Tilda Study at Trinity College highlighted the importance of a diet rich in vitamin D in boosting a person’s resistance to respiratory infections.
