#BMHA formed following recognition across the Northern Irish construction industry that we could do more collectively to improve mental health awareness and signposting in Northern Ireland - a great example of turning ''awareness into action'. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

'Put your own lifejacket on first'.
'Recharge your own battery before jumpstarting another'
'You can't be a lighthouse if your own light is out'
Whatever the analogy, don't ignore your own signs of needing a break.

Day 2 of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - the thought for today is to not lose sight of those small actions that will make a difference to colleagues, friends, family and everyone part of the wonderous world of construction. #mentalhealthawareness #constructionindustrynorthernireland

Our focus today is #action. What action can you take this #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and how can BMHA support you to do more for the construction industry?

An employer has a legal duty to protect workers from stress at work. At BMHA we're encouraging the construction industry to do more to reduce the mental ill health. You can start by accessing free resources like this free Risk Assessment from HSE NI.

'Protecting mental health at work isn't optional - it's essential' is the message from the Health and Safety Executive on the eve of Stress Awareness Month.
We're calling for action across the construction industry to do more for our workforce. #StressAwarenessMonth #construction
