During w/c 18th October BuildHealth in association with IOSH is hosting a “Let’s Talk Health“ week. The aim of the week is to refocus on key areas of occupational health within the construction industry.
Each day during the week we would encourage sites to stop work for a short period of time (approximately 15 minutes) and gather with their colleagues in socially distanced groups to discuss one of ten topics using the questions provided, supported by discussion aids. There are ten talks in total:
- Asbestos
- Cancers
- Chemicals
- Dust
- HAVS
- Mental Health
- Manual Handling
- Noise
- Silica
- Stress & Fatigue
The talks and discussion aids can be accessed here.
To help promote the week we would encourage you to share photographs of talks being held on social media #letstalkhealth.
