Book excerpt: "The book considers what makes an excellent face-to-face health and safety contact on the workplace, and why these contacts are a fundamental building block of any strong, caring and empowering workplace culture. It stresses the vital importance of inquiry, empathy and analysis in understanding what employees need to mitigate risk factors around safety and mental health. This revised and updated edition includes empowering methodologies that directly address mental health and well-being issues and the challenges organisations face in a post COVID19 era. The reader will gain an understanding of the day-to-day mechanisms of why "culture is king" and how everyone contributes every-day to this truism. This book covers how interactions regarding leadership and teamwork directly lead to the amount of human error and fallibility an organisation can expect to need to manage, and how taking pro-active, analytical and empowering approaches to safety and health is key to identifying and mitigating risks. Talking Health, Safety and Wellbeing explains why it is so important to talk about health and safety issues pro-actively. Written in an accessible and engaging manner, this book is an ideal read for any frontline supervisor, HR manager, mental health first aider, safety rep or company director"--
