In this industry, we don't always find it easy to talk.
We're taught to get on with it. To be strong. To show up regardless of what's going on underneath. And most of the time, that's exactly what our people do - with a quiet strength that doesn't get said out loud nearly enough.
But today is R U OK?Day. And today, we're saying it out loud.
To every man working across our sites - we see you. Not just the work you do, but the person doing it. The pressures you carry. The days that are harder than they look from the outside.
Today we're asking - genuinely, not as a formality -
R U OK?
If the answer is no, or not really, or you're not sure - that matters. Please talk to someone. A workmate. A supervisor. Someone you trust. Or call Lifeline on 13 11 14, any time, day or night.
This year we've delivered R U OK?Day packs across our sites - because we want our people to know that this question isn't just something we post about. It's something we mean.
You are not alone out there.
