Mental Health in Construction.

Mental Health in the Construction Sector – A Report

Health in the construction sector has always been a high priority for the sector and a core part of the industry’s safety culture. Over the last decade, the focus has expanded to include mental health. This is now more important than ever as we realise the huge impact it has on our personal and professional lives.  The Construction Workers’ Sick Pay Trust partnered with the Construction Industry Federation to look at the impact on mental health in the construction sector.

The CIF Mental Health Report represents a benchmark for measurement of our progress towards an industry culture that protects, supports and nurtures employee wellbeing. To download the full report, please visit the CIF website.
