Today marks the start of Mental Health Week for 2019. Whilst this is an issue 365 days of the year, please take the time this week to make sure you buds are ok, and if you aren't doing entirely great yourself, reach out and speak to someone.
We are here for our members in any capacity, and will happily supply them or anyone for that matter with details for the experts in this particular field.
The construction industry has some great organisations that can help you out, and be a place where you can share without judgement. @matesinconstruction is just one organisation. @BlackDoginst is another.
We all suffer from trials and tribulations from work, finance and home life pressures. You are not alone.

Remember a problem shared is a problem halved. Reach out. Don't suffer in silence.

When I started in the construction industry 30 years ago (I was 16), fiber cement products were considered safe to cut and grind without PPE. in fact there was no consideration what any silica product could do to your lungs. we were advised, no asbestos meant it was safe to inhale. Moving forward we now know much more about silica and the damage it can causes to our lungs. I became concerned about my health do to all the exposure I have had, and not just from Silica, but Asbestos also. So I made an appointment to get an occupational lung test done last week. 2 test are done, a CT scan and a Spirometry lung test.
Both very easy tests to do, and all covered by Medicare.
After a nervous few days wait my result came in, and the news was good. I have a set of very healthy lungs and was given the all clear.

I suggest anyone that has been in construction for any period of time should get themselves tested.

In case you missed it, earlier in the year, we posted some important information in regards Silica dust and the personal requirements in line with legislation you need to comply with.

In case you missed it, here is the cheat sheet we put together again for your refererence.

Remember, approximately 99% of tests end with a fail due to the user not understanding how to put their mask on properly.

We can come to site, and test all your workers and subbies to ensure they are compliant, and will issue them with a certficate that goes on our register. These tests must be completed every 12 months, and also if you have gained or lost significant weight.

Keep yourself safe. Don't risk illness or a fine.
