A certain amount of stress can be helpful, but too much is harmful. That’s why Emma Dymond – who’s passionate about her team’s wellbeing – has launched a trial of home blood tests that check levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Hear all about the trial here.
Neil Greenberg explains what PTSD is and how rail organisations can minimise its risk. He also interviews Michael Setchell, a former train driver, who experienced traumatic events at work, resulting in a PTSD diagnosis.
Bullying and harassment aren’t welcome here. In this session, Rachel Lewis draws on research to identify key actions to prevent, address, and manage conflict and negative relationships at work.
Using drink and drugs to cope with life could happen to any of us. We’re only human. Hear from someone who’s been through it and discovered that work and recovery can go hand in hand. The session also covers revisions to the rail industry standard for testing safety critical workers for drugs and alcohol.
