If you were unable to watch Wednesday’s NZIOB and Site Safe Mental Health webinar live, a recording is available for NZIOB Members free of charge through the membership portal under 'Webinars'.

The webinar drew upon a Site Safe commissioned 2021 study undertaken by Massey University that investigated stress on construction sites. The key site stressors that were identified in the research report are:

• Organisational Stressors (time pressures, volumes of work and cognitive ability); and

• Poor Communication & Collaboration practices

The speakers on the webinar covered the construction supply-chain and each discussed what they are doing to promote mental health initiatives in their companies concerning key findings from this study.

The Massey University Stress in Construction Study is available online.
