Health

Does a duty to protect health and safety extend to that of mental health in the workplace?
For example, an employee being scared of a fellow employee and not wanting to be alone- albeit briefly.  
If you have any links that might cover this be glad-  Thank you.

I would imagine it depends on the basis of the concern. If an employee is acting inappropriately then an employer should deal with that.
If the person’s fears are due to their mental health and not particularly evidence based then it would not be reasonable to expect an employer to make sure the two are never alone together.
Any reasonable adjustments for disability only have to be put in place if they are reasonable and possible for the employer.

Presumably this is the same situation you posted about on an earlier thread where you might see this colleague occasionally at shift change? I remember there being many valid replies. You have also posted several threads, some of which I think have been removed, where you were repeatedly advised to seek help from health care professionals - have you sought that help?

Looking at this thread, it's hard to work out what your employer does or doesn't know: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6212359/bipolar-members-spotted-illness-dr-concerns-work-time-off#latest

An employer's duty of care can only extend so far.

Broadly yes, although in practice it is far harder to prove that an employer is responsible for a mental health issue than it would be for a physical problem.

As others have indicated, variations on this question have been discussed at length in your numerous other threads. I really don't think you are going to get the answers you want (need??) form a forum like this.
