b'Step 5: Consider Adding Additional SupportAs you talk with staff and monitor activities throughout the workplace, make sure staff have adequate support and resources. This will help to determine whether additional support resources, such as the EAP, grief counselors,crisis responders, or other local resources, may be needed. If the Suicide Death Occurs at WorkRarely, a suicide death may occur at a workplace site. If this happens, law enforcement, emergency services,as well as the coroner/medical examiner may be involved immediately, along with the workplace legal team and insurers. Law enforcement may need to conduct an investigation to affirm manner of death. During the investigation, it is advisable to have the area sectioned off without employee access or visibility, and also to have a single person dedicated to assisting law enforcement with worksite access, family notification, etc. The CRT will need to be in close communication with the police to determine (a) what they can and cannot say to the community to ensure there is no interference with the investigation and (b) whether there are certain employees who must be interviewed by the police before the CRT can debrief or support them in any way. In situations where law enforcement must speak with employees to help determine the cause of death, a member of the CRT may offer to accompany the employee for this discussion and notify legal counsel. Employees may also have been exposed to the death, and special care should be taken to address theimmediate needs of those employees, including connecting them to mental health support. Employees who work in the location where the death occurred will likely need temporary relocation, but care should be taken to address any concerns that employees have related to the death occurring in the workplace, in accordance with other policies related to death onsite. Relocating offices temporarily or permitting some remote work may be necessary, and employee concerns about returning to the location will need to be addressed.Crisis Response CommunicationIn this CommunicationConsistentEmployeeExternal Plan Messaging onCommunications CommunicationsSection SuicideOnce the key personnel are informed, the next step is to share the news more broadly. Consider providing this information to those closest to the employee that died before a more public announcement is made. It is important to respect how much information the family wishes to share when relaying the news. This section provides communication plans, information on safe messaging when sharing the news, and internal and external communications, including working with the press and media.Communication Plan The CRT is responsible for coordinating communication across the organization. It is useful to keep a list of individuals who need to be informed, including a plan for who will speak to each individual and notes on whenthese activities are completed, as the manner and time of these notifications will vary (see Appendix B: Tools and Templates). In-person notifications should be done whenever possible by well-informed trusted messengers who can best answer questions and convey workplace concern, involvement, and assurance.
