Workplaces are increasingly recognised as powerful determinants of mental health, yet psychosocial hazards such as high job demands, role conflict, burnout, and workplace violence remain under addressed in occupational health and safety systems. Drawing on research across professions, this talk presents evidence on the prevalence and impact of mental health hazards at work, including their measurable effects on daily functioning and disability. Attendees will gain insight into how psychosocial risk assessment can be integrated into existing occupational health and safety frameworks, and into the targeted, evidence-based interventions that can prevent work disability and promote psychological safety across sectors.

This Public Lecture, Networking Event and Discussion is a collaborative effort between the University of Malta's Centre for Labour Studies, the at the University of Toronto, as well as the
