We talk a lot about getting home safely at the end of the day.
But getting home safe isn’t just about the hazards you can see.
As World Mental Health Day approaches, we’re shining a light on mental health in the construction and civil engineering industry. You can be surrounded by your gang and still feel alone.
Provisional ONS figures show 355 people in skilled construction trades died by su***de in England and Wales in 2024. Construction workers face 3.7 times the national average risk.
Behind every number is a person, a family, and a team, which is why we’re joining in raising awareness and opening up the conversation.
So, check in with your colleagues. Ask how they’re really doing, then ask again 💙
