About This Mental Health in Construction Course

This course is designed for construction workers at all levels, including supervisors. It covers the fundamentals of mental health and the challenges construction workers face.

The course empowers construction workers to talk openly about mental health and support themselves and others. It also gives them the awareness to spot warning signs and recognise when professional help is needed.

Why Is This Course Important?

Construction workers are at the highest risk of suicide in the UK, with rates 3.7 times higher than the national average, according to the Office for National Statistics. Demanding work conditions are often the root cause, but problems are made worse because most construction workers are unable or unwilling to talk openly.

Due to stigma and a lack of awareness, many mental health issues in the construction sector go unnoticed and untreated, leaving workers vulnerable to severe mental health crises.

This Mental Health in Construction Training course equips workers with essential skills to recognise mental health warning signs, respond appropriately and support themselves and colleagues. It helps break the stigma surrounding mental health issues and encourages workers to talk openly about the challenges they’re facing.

Are You Aware of Your Responsibilities?

Employers have a general duty to protect both the physical and mental health of their workers. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers must:

  • Identify and manage risks to mental health
  • Provide training and resources to promote good mental health
  • Offer mental health support services, such as Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs)
  • Encourage open communication and create a supportive work environment
  • Make reasonable adjustments for employees with mental health conditions
  • Monitor and address workplace stressors, such as excessive workloads or long hours
  • Ensure managers are trained to identify and respond to mental health concerns

Fulfilling these responsibilities creates a safer, more supportive work environment and demonstrates your commitment to employee wellbeing.
