Safety Prevents PTSD: Injury Prevention at Work

Injury is a leading cause of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Preventing injury can prevent PTSD. Employers, supervisors, and providers (e.g., employee assistance program providers, primary care providers, mental health providers) can help by focusing on preventing injuries (e.g. falls, motor vehicle accidents, machine injuries, etc.) and advocating for a safe work environment.
