The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) has published its Mental Health Joint Code of Practice (JCOP). The Joint Code of Practice provides the construction industry with a framework to create an environment that fosters better mental health for its workforce.

The JCOP identifies the following 5 core factors that negatively impact the sector’s mental health:

• working patterns
• operational demands
• people factors and environment
• financial issues
• support factors

The JCOP sets out advice on how employers can provide a more supportive environment to jointly address and prevent these issues.

You can access the CLC website www.constructionleadershipcouncil.co.uk for more information on:

HSE’s Working Minds campaign provides a range of practical tools, guidance and support to help employers, managers, and workers manage stress in the workplace.
