How to tackle construction’s mental health crisis

Construction companies, how’s your workers’ wellbeing? Find out simple steps for improving your staff mental health – and boost business at the same time.

It’s time to talk about construction workers’ mental health. A recent report by construction social media company, On the Tools, showed that the UK construction industry has one of the highest rates of suicide among all sectors, with construction workers being four times more likely to take their own lives than the national average.

Staff might be suffering, but the ‘just man up and get on with it’ is in the past. Stepping up and supporting your workforce is the way forward, and there’s plenty of help out there for companies who want to make a difference.

What are your first steps? Find out in our new brochure, Beyond hard hats: Prioritising mental health for a safer construction culture.

You'll discover:

  • The concerning statistics that all construction companies need to know related to their workers’ mental health.
  • How workers’ colleagues can also be affected.
  • How poor worker mental health can also affect a company’s health.
