World Mental Health Day

Shocking statistics show that suicide kills more people in the construction industry than falls from height.

Ensuring that health and safety procedures are followed on a construction site is usually the top priority – but there is only so much protection that PPE and knowledge can provide. Not to mention, that protection is only physical. What about ‘mental protection’? Surely, it is only right that mental health and safety is given the same level of importance and investment as other hazards on site.

It’s World Mental Health Day and we are holding a ‘Tea and Talk’ at our offices. Organised by the Mental Health Foundation, Tea and Talk is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
