Wellbeing and mental health: HSE’s Working Minds campaign
NFRC are supporting the HSE Working Minds campaign, which aims to prevent work-related stress and encourage good mental health. It also reminds employers of their legal duties to assess and tackle risks at work, and provides practical tools to support their employees' mental health. Businesses can access these tools for free on the Working Minds campaign site. You can also help raise awareness of how to prevent work-related stress and support good mental health by joining the 1,000 others signed up to date and become a Working Minds Champion as well as downloading NFRC's recently updated Coping with Workplace Stress and Fatigue guidance sheet, to get a conversation started around wellbeing and mental health.
If you or someone you know needs support right now, you can contact the Construction Industry Helpline, run by the Lighthouse Club charity, on 0345 605 1956 or via text by messaging HARDHAT to 85258. It is free, and available 24/7.
