To support Mental Health Awareness Week, Phoenix Brickwork have been treating operatives to dinner and delivering Mental Health and Wellbeing Training on sites.
Year on year across the UK, male suicide rates are more than 3 times higher than female rates. In the construction industry deaths from suicide are around ten times higher than deaths from injury. 42% of UK construction works are currently living with mental health problems whilst trying to cope at work and 55% of UK construction workers have experienced mental issues directly related to work.
Phoenix take the physical and mental health of our employees and colleagues very seriously.
We want you to know that if there is something bothering you, or you’re feeling unable to cope, we want you to talk about it, with a colleague, line manager, close friend or a stranger working for a professional counselling organisation such as CALM.
