Scaffold Services Globally Mental Health Commitments
Johns Story
mental health challenges among workers. John, a seasoned scaffolder in his early 40s, epitomizes this struggle. He had always prided himself on his toughness, but the long hours, physical strain, and time away from family weighed heavily on him, leading to anxiety and depression. John’s story is far from unique, as studies reveal that men in construction are three times more likely to die by suicide than the national average. Factors such as job insecurity, physical demands, and a tough, "macho" culture contribute to the mental health crisis in the industry. Thankfully, initiatives like Mates in Mind, which provides tailored support for construction workers, and the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity, offering a 24/7 helpline, are making strides to address the issue. As more companies incorporate mental health first aid training, the industry is slowly moving toward a shift where seeking help is seen as a strength, not a weakness. The need for change is urgent, and fostering a supportive environment is essential not just for building structures, but for building a foundation of well-being for the workforce.
