Construction and mental health:  The unseen hazard in construction 

Construction and mental health: The unseen hazard in construction  
Construction workers are 3.7 times more likely to die by suicide than the national average. 
Stress, long hours, and high- pressure environments contribute to absenteeism, reduced productivity, and safety risks. 
Investing in mental wellbeing not only enhances staff retention and morale but reduces costly downtime and accidents.  

Proactively addressing mental health isn't just ethical. It's essential for a resilient, productive, and thriving business
