MESOTHELIOMA DEATHS

++ Data and analysis of mesothelioma deaths which was due to be released in August has now been postponed.

++ A report detailing the results from the latest Psychosocial Working Conditions survey (2008) will be published in early September. This is the fifth in an annual survey series which provides a snapshot of working conditions across the British workforce. There is a focus on the potential stressors which HSE is attempting to help organisations address via the roll-out of its Management Standards for Work-Related Stress. ++ These reports can be found at http://www.hse.gov.uk/statistics/publications/illhealth.htm?ebul=stats/july-08&cr=03
