A NEW campaign to tackle work-related stress and poor mental health is being launched today, as officials fear that the situation risks becoming a health and safety crisis.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said that while the full impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is yet to be fully understood, mental health issues are now the main reason given for sick days.
More than 17 million working days were lost last year as a result of stress, anxiety or depression, said the HSE.
