When survey talks…

In 2008/09, according to the Labour Force Survey, an estimated 415 000 individuals in Britain, who worked in the last year, believed that they were experiencing work-related stress at a level that was making them ill. The 2009 Psychosocial Working Conditions (PWC) survey indicated that around 16.7% of all working individuals thought their job was very or extremely stressful.

The annual incidence of work-related mental health problems in Britain in 2008, as estimated from the THOR surveillance schemes OPRA and SOSMI, was approximately 5,126 new cases per year. However, this almost certainly underestimates the true incidence of these conditions in the British workforce.

According to self-reports from the LFS an estimated 230 000 people, who worked in the last 12 months, first became aware of work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2008/09, giving an annual incidence rate of 760 cases per 100 000 workers. Estimates from the LFS indicate that self-reported work-related stress, depression or anxiety accounted for an estimated 11.4 million lost working days in Britain in 2008/09.

THOR surveillance data from General Practitioners indicates that 30.9% of all diagnoses of work-related ill-health are cases of mental ill-health, with an average length of sickness absence per certified case of 26.8 working days.
