As mental health becomes more talked about than ever in construction, Laura McLellan discusses how and when workplace ‘banter’ crosses the line into bullying and harassment.

More than half of those who participated in a trial to monitor the mood of construction workers to enhance their wellbeing favour introducing the scheme across the whole industry.

A study commissioned by Sir Robert McAlpine claims a 50% increase in flexible working could result in a net economic gain of £55bn for the entire economy, whilst creating 51,200 new jobs. What’s more, the construction industry stands to gain £457m if flexible working increases by 50%.

Site workers are missing out on the mental health revolution, and it’s really not OK, says Fred Sherratt MCIOB.
