ToolBox Talk Tuesday: Mental Health Awareness

Long supply chains, withheld payments, slim profit lines, pressure from customers, job insecurity and that?s just the stresses of work. Don?t forget there?s also the pressures from home, nags from your partner to fix the taps, oh and the don?t forget the living room needs painting, and then there?s the kids arguing and pestering you for that trip to DisneyLand. All these extra stresses and strains can have a real impact on your mental health. We tend to look after and be far more aware of our physical health; we might head to the gym, pop out for a walk, swap that triple decker sandwich and chocolate for a salad every so often and take a few vitamins all in the name of keeping our physical self in tiptop condition but what do we do for our mental health? How do we look after our brain, one of the most vital organs in our body? It is important to act now and take care of our mental health so that we don?t become part of these recent shocking statistics: 350,000 of the 2.1million UK construction population are struggling with stress, depression and anxiety 2 construction workers taking their own lives every single day The suicide rate among male labourers is 3.7 times higher than the national average
