BSI has published BS 30480, a free guidance standard to help organisations plan for, respond to, and support people affected by suicide in workplace settings. It sets a practical framework to identify and manage suicide risk, strengthen policies and culture, equip people to hold confident conversations, and put clear post-incident support in place for colleagues and families.

Sector bodies, including IWFM, have welcomed the launch and highlighted its relevance to workplace and facilities leaders responsible for safe, supportive environments.

MostonRECRUIT supports this standard and encourages FM and built-environment employers, leaders and partners across our network to read it and consider how its guidance can be adopted in their workplaces. We’ll continue to signpost resources that raise standards of care across the industry.
