Australia loses one construction worker every two days to suicide – why are our tradies suffering from mental ill-health at an alarmingly disproportionate level?

From influenza to COVID-19, infectious diseases can pose a serious risk to workplace operations and its staff members, especially in the colder winter months. 

As an employer that has thousands of staff on construction sites, one of our greatest health and safety concerns relates to manual handling injuries.

As part of Usher Group’s year-long safety campaign ‘Usher Safety First 2019’, we have turned our attention in March to educating our own staff and the wider construction and trades industries about ways to avoid adding to those statistics.

Usher Group campaign up the ante on safety by aligning with industry charities such as MATES in Construction and Danger Sun Overhead.
