PBJ Features NECA/IBEW: Building a Culture of Mental Health in Construction
Mental health is just as critical as physical safety on the job site and the construction industry is taking notice.
The Portland Business Journal featured an article by NECA/IBEW titled How to Build a New Culture of Mental Health in the Construction Industry. The piece brings much-needed attention to the emotional well-being of those working in one of the most demanding professions.
While safety on the job site is typically associated with protective gear and equipment, true safety goes beyond the physical. It means creating a culture where workers feel supported, heard, and encouraged to speak up when they’re struggling.
For those in leadership roles, mental health shouldn’t be a side conversation. It should be part of the foundation. The article encourages leaders to take active steps in making mental wellness a core component of workplace safety and culture.
