The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what consideration has there been to provide BS 30480 Suicide and the Workplace standard available to businesses in the United Kingdom.

Answered by Kate Dearden

BS 30480 Suicide and the Workplace is a voluntary British Standard published by the British Standards Institution (BSI), the UK's National Standards Body. The standard is available as a free download through BSI's website. As with other voluntary British Standards, decisions on whether and how to adopt the standard are a matter for individual organisations.
