Ensuring Mental Health and Well-being in Construction ComplianceEnsuring Mental Health and Well-being in Construction Compliance: A Comprehensive Guide
The construction industry is known for its physical demands, tight deadlines, and high-stakes projects. While many workers thrive in this environment, others may struggle with the mental health implications of their job. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of prioritizing mental health and well-being in the construction sector.
Mental health is just as crucial to overall health as physical health. However, it often takes a backseat when it comes to workplace safety protocols. The consequences of neglecting mental health can be severe, including decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, and even tragic outcomes such as suicide.
