This Thursday, October 10th, 2024, we observe World Mental Health Day—a global reminder to take mental wellbeing seriously. This year’s theme, set by the World Federation for Mental Health, is: “It’s time to prioritise mental health in the workplace.”

In today’s fast-paced world, the workplace can sometimes become a source of chronic stress, which can lead to burnout and other health complications. In this week’s blog, we’ll help you recognise the signs of burnout and share practical ways to safeguard your mental health at work.

Modern flat roofing systems, when installed by professionals, are designed to require minimal upkeep. However, that doesn’t mean ‘no maintenance’ and most in the roofing business recommend a twice-yearly routine maintenance check.

So, as we face the usual influx of leaves, debris and unpredictable weather that come with Autumn, this week’s blog will guide you through some key steps to keep your roof in top shape.

This weekend, several areas across central, southern and eastern England have experienced extremely heavy rainfall that’s led to numerous flood alerts and warnings.

With further heavy rain forecast in places today, driving conditions could get tricky. To help, we’re focusing this week’s blog on how to drive safely in such adverse circumstances.

The afternoon slump, a dip in energy that usually occurs between 1.00 – 3.00pm, is a common experience for many workers. Whether you’re swinging a hammer on a construction site or crunching numbers in an office, the ‘slump’ can significantly impact your productivity.

However, by implementing a few simple strategies, you can effectively combat this mid-day lull and maintain a high level of focus throughout the entire day. Take a look at this week’s blog for more.

Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common causes of injuries in the construction industry in the UK. These accidents often lead to serious and/ or permanent injuries and even fatalities.

Understanding the causes, implementing effective prevention strategies and knowing how to respond when an accident does occur is crucial for ensuring the safety of all construction workers. Find out more about this critical issue in this week’s ‘Focus on Safety’ blog.

The Home Builders Federation (HBF) has recently announced the launch of a fifth round of its successful Women into Home Building programme, designed to attract more women into site management roles within the construction industry.

Partnering with ten leading homebuilders, the programme offers over 30 training opportunities, support services and work placements to aspiring female site managers. Find out more in this week’s blog.

A fire that ripped through a residential project in East London this June led to one construction worker having to be rescued from the end of a tower crane and seven people being hospitalised due to smoke inhalation.

The fire was just one of hundreds that occur on construction sites each year across the UK, potentially putting the lives of workers and members of the public at risk. Make sure this doesn’t happen at your site by reading our latest blog.

When someone new arrives at your construction site, welcoming them and introducing them to the site in friendly, well-organised manner is essential.

Regardless of whether they are a new contractor, supplier, professional colleague or any other visitor, the welcome you provide is not just a matter of making a good first impression but also key to maintaining a safe, efficient and compliant site. Read this week’s blog for five tips for making this process seamless.
