- An intervention comprising a workplace environmental scan and a psychoeducation training course for workplace issues and mental health literacy effectively improved mental health literacy and mental well-being among workers.
- This intervention should be integrated into the Occupational and Health Safety legislation as compulsory workplace training. In proportion to the workforce size, trained officers should be available to provide support when workers require mental health assistance.
