Traumatic events can happen to anyone in trucking from drivers in an accident to the dock workers in a loading maneuver gone wrong. The most important thing is recognizing PTSD and not just defaulting to a "No, no, I'm fine" type of response.

Transportation and warehousing top the list of occupations among men when it comes to the costs related to traumatic events such as being involved in a road crash or witnessing a serious work accident. In the trucking industry, a perception of masculinity often leads to silence after such events, impacting road safety. Reflecting on my experience as a former fleet manager, accident training focused on data analysis, driver education, and compliance. It's crucial to consider mental health support post-accident. It's normal to be affected by traumatic incidents, emphasizing the need for industry-wide mental health investment. #Transportation #Warehousing #MentalHealthAwareness #TruckDrivers #RoadSafety

What a compliance consultant does on their day off #6. My weekly parkrun fix, the reason Saturday mornings have existed for the last 15 years (in my life, anyway). But that isn't actually the main reason for this post. On Thursday 7th November at 12 noon I will be co-hosting a 45-minute webinar with ICS to mark International Men's Day where I, along with some other brave men, will be opening-up about some of the struggles men face but rarely talk about, in the hope that it will help others. And today, at our little parkrun, a wonderful human being who's had well-publicised issues of her own behind the facade of great success, joined us unannounced and after running the 5k (rather faster than most of us!) stayed on to encourage the other runners/walkers round the course. Dame Kelly Holmes is a fantastic role model, and a real 'giver' in life. I'm not ashamed to admit this is the third time I've had my photo taken with her at running events. As Kel and I would both say - if there is something going on in your life which is affecting your mental health, don't keep it from everyone. Talk to someone. It might not solve the issue, but it may be a first step to getting help and then clambering on to the road to recovery. (But remember it's a road, not necessarily a destination.) #dayoffcompliance #internationalmensday #icscompliance #insurancecompliance https://lnkd.in/eVUESAX2

Suspicious or otherwise – John Barnett’s death represents a sacrifice. Speaking up about wrong-doing takes courage and comes at a huge cost. Research has found that: Whistleblowing comes at a huge cost for your mental health. · 70% whistleblowers report experiencing stress related physical problems after speaking up · 85% whistleblowers suffer a range of mental health symptoms including severe anxiety, depression, paranoia, agoraphobia and/or sleep issues. Some even feel suicidal. Why is this? In the work I've done supporting those who've spoken up, the following factors crop up time and time again: · No-one can prepare you for being a whistleblower or for the aftermath · Employees may be compelled to act to defend themselves or in other situations to avoid moral injury · Typically, people attempt to resolve concerns via in-house processes first · Regulators fail to act appropriately · Those speaking up experience Institutional betrayal · There are huge personal costs not only to self but family and loved ones which can amplify the pain · People face recrimination for speaking up (including violence in some cases) · The effects can be life-changing and enduring When speaking up about wrong doing for the good of society, whistleblowers also face · Strong feelings of guilt for going externally · Incurring moral injury when their actions don’t prevent the wrong-doing Mr Barnett had worked for Boeing for 32 years. I can only imagine how frightening and painful he must have found it to speak up. With so much visibility. And how devastating it must feel for his loved ones. I hope he is at peace. #whistleblowing #truthtelling #boeing https://lnkd.in/eMsD_qjE
