As South Africa marks Workers Month this May, the Federated Employers' Mutual Assurance Company (FEM), is shining the spotlight on workplace safety, mental health, and the value of protecting the country's workforce.

FEM's message for this month is: "safer workers mean stronger businesses and a more resilient economy." This includes mental health support to reducing over-servicing in injury management. It's been a year since the collapse of a five-storey building in the country's Western Cape Province that claimed the lives of 34 construction workers and 28 others injured.
