EDITOR’S VOICE


Welcome to the September/October issue of Tomorrow’s Health & Safety.


In today’s fast-paced work environments, the importance of a strong health and safety culture has never been more vital. This issue of Tomorrow’s Health & Safety is dedicated to equipping professionals and organisations with the knowledge and tools they need to safeguard wellbeing, enhance performance, and build resilience.


We begin with a deep dive into Emergency Evacuations, a critical area where preparation can mean the difference between safety and disaster. From building a comprehensive incident response strategy for lone workers to robust plans for recovery should disaster strike, we explore best practices that can help you ensure everyone gets out safely when seconds count – and get your business back up and running with minimum downtime.


Turning to the often less visible, but equally pressing concern of Mental Health and Stress, we highlight the growing recognition of psychological safety in the workplace. Chronic stress, burnout, and anxiety are real risks that impact not only individual health but also team performance and retention. In this issue, we


feature worrying statistics specifically concerning the construction industry and lone workers. Experts share useful strategies for building supportive environments, recognising warning signs, and integrating mental wellness into everyday operations, all of which can be incorporated into any sector.


In the section on Cleaning and Hygiene, we look at how maintaining high standards is essential across all industries and shine a spotlight on procuring sustainable cleaning products.


We also examine Human Factors and Ergonomics with a focus on how workplace design influences safety, comfort, and productivity. Plus, we take a look at how to specify compliant PPE that fits properly and is comfortable to wear.


Whether you’re a safety officer, business owner, or frontline worker, this issue offers practical insights and expert guidance to help create safer, healthier workplaces for all.


I hope you enjoy reading.
