Burnout as a Safety Risk: What Happens Before the Claim
Burnout is increasingly recognised as more than a wellbeing issue - it is a safety risk.

For many organisations, the first visible signs of mental strain appear in lag indicators such as absenteeism, psychological injury claims, or workers compensation data. But by the time these metrics move, burnout has often been developing for months.
In this webinar, Founder and Director of Better Being, Greg Stark, explores how psychological strain progresses from early capacity depletion to mental injury risk.
Drawing on new workforce data and emerging research, we unpack:
- How burnout develops over time and how it connects to psychological injury and compensation claims
- The workplace conditions most strongly associated with rising burnout risk
- Why relying on lag indicators limits effective psychosocial risk management
- How safety leaders can identify earlier signals of burnout and strengthen preventive controls
This session is designed for safety professionals who want to move beyond reacting to claims and towards proactively managing burnout as a core psychosocial hazard.
