10th of October, WSW Refurbishments, a renowned construction company, is drawing attention to the mental health challenges construction workers face. With construction workers being six times more likely to die from mental health issues than from dangerous falls, the need for change has never been more urgent.
While construction jobs are known for their physical demands, the emotional toll is often ignored. Recent surveys reveal that 73% of construction workers report ongoing mental health struggles each month. Additionally. each day, two construction workers die by suicide, with stress, anxiety, and depression being significant contributors to work-related illnesses.
WSW are leading refurbishment providers across the UK.
Aware of these alarming statistics, WSW Refurbishments is working to promote mental health support within the industry. With men accounting for three out of four suicide victims and 99% of on-site construction workers being male, mental health is a crucial concern. WSW Refurbishments is committed to ensuring that all employees and their families have access to necessary support, free from judgment or fear of job loss.
Colin Cheek, Managing Director at WSW Refurbishments, stated, “World Mental Health Day serves as an important reminder for anyone facing mental health challenges that reaching out for help and speaking openly are vital first steps toward healing. At WSW Refurbishments, we are dedicated to breaking down mental health stigma and creating a workplace that prioritises safety, support, and openness.”
For those struggling with mental health issues, various charities and organisations are available to provide support without judgment.
