At Sheriff Construction, we’re taking this opportunity to join the conversation by exploring why being part of a community is so important for mental health, shining a light on the worrying rates of suicide in construction, and considering what we can all do to support each other better. Join us by taking a moment to read this week’s blog.
Did you know that around one in three adults in the UK are deaf, have hearing loss or experience tinnitus (a persistent ringing, buzzing or humming sound in the ears with no external source)?
Given this prevalence, it’s very likely you work alongside someone who is affected and so, as this week (6-11 May) is Deaf Awareness Week, we’re shining a light on the communication challenges people with hearing loss can face as well as what we can do to be more inclusive communicators on site and beyond.

In 2022, the construction industry generated 63 million tonnes of construction and demolition (C&D) waste in England. While 59.4 million tonnes of this waste were recovered, it’s less certain how much was fully recycled.
What is clear is that there is substantial room for the industry to go further in relation to maximising resources and cutting waste. Take a look at this week’s blog to find out more about why this is crucial and what improvements can be made on site.
As cities around the world grapple with the twin pressures of population growth and environmental decline, architects and planners are turning to a novel solution: vertical forests. Integrating thousands of trees, shrubs and plants into their facades, these high-rise buildings bring the promise of cleaner air, cooler cities and a stronger connection with nature.
But while projects like Milan’s Bosco Verticale and Singapore’s Oasia Hotel Downtown dazzle with their leafy exteriors, some experts have questioned whether the benefits live up to the hype or if they’re simply architectural ‘greenwashing.’ Read on to learn more.
As inherently hazardous environments, unauthorised access on construction sites can lead to severe consequences – not just for the trespassers but also for workers and the broader community. Beyond the significant financial losses from theft and vandalism, trespassing incidents can also result in serious injuries or even fatalities.
Find out more about the impacts trespassers can have on a construction site and what you can do to prevent them in this week’s blog.
In today’s digital age, where there’s a constant influx of notifications, emails and social media updates, maintaining focus at work has become increasingly challenging.
Studies have shown that, for screen-focused work, our average attention span dropped from two-and-a-half minutes in 2004 to just 47 seconds in 2021. This decline in focus not only affects our productivity but also impacts our overall job performance and satisfaction. Keep reading for some tips on how to reclaim your attention and enhance work efficiency.
The UK government has unveiled a major initiative to address the construction industry’s skills shortage, launching a new Construction Skills Mission Board alongside a £600m investment in training. This ambitious plan aims to bring up to 60,000 new workers into the sector.
So, how will this funding be allocated and what does it mean for the future of construction? Read on to find out more.
Construction work can be tough on the skin. From contact with hazardous substances to prolonged sun exposure, workers face daily risks that can lead to serious skin conditions, including dermatitis, chemical burns and even skin cancer.
Protecting your skin isn’t just about comfort – it’s essential for long-term health and safety. Find out more about the dangers and what you can do to reduce the health risks in our latest Focus on Safety blog.
The UK needs 370,000 new homes per year to meet government targets, but with planning approvals at their lowest in a decade, the industry is struggling to keep up.
The latest Housing Pipeline Report from the Home Builders Federation (HBF) highlights the scale of the challenge, showing a worrying decline in planning permissions that threatens future housing supply. Read on to find out more about what’s causing this slowdown and what needs to change.
