In construction, safety is non-negotiable. We gear up everyday to protect ourselves physically, but what about protecting our mental health?
Men in construction are statistically more at risk of su***de than workers in most other industries. Long hours, physical strain, pressure on site, it all takes its toll.
Talking about stress, burnout or anxiety should be as ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ as doing a toolbox talk.
We talk about strength in construction, it's not just about dealing with heavy loads, but also about solving problems under pressure and working through tough conditions.
Let's redefine ๐ฆ๐ง๐ฅ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐:
๐ท๐ผโโ๏ธIt's about being open
๐ท๐ผโโ๏ธIt's about checking in on your mates
๐ท๐ผโโ๏ธIt's about asking for help when you need it
