Workplace Safety Laws

Recently, while scrolling through my Twitter, I came across this tweet that made me stop and think. There are workplace safety laws that make first-aid kits and other medical necessities compulsory in every organization. But, what about mental health? Do we have laws that cater to mentally ill workers?

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
