Discussing the coronavirus pandemic’s impact on mental health, The Engineers Collective welcomes RSK’s health and safety manager for the contracting division Lindsey Marie and principal safety, health, environment and quality co-ordinator Phil Hinchey to the podcast.
Marie explains some of the major challenges around workers’ mental health and wellbeing, and explores how COVID-19 has shaped the construction industry’s approach to the issue. During the discussion, Phil outlines some of the potential behavioural signs that indicate someone might be struggling with their mental health. He also offers advice on what action to take and signposts the resources and support that is available.
Marie manages the health and safety aspects of the 17 businesses within RSK’s contracting division and is also a specialist member of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management with over 13 years’ experience. She is also a mental health first aider, offering support and guidance and ensuring that all individuals within RSK have access to key wellbeing services through the employee assistance programme. Phil is a chartered member of the Institute of Occupational Health and Safety with over 30 years’ experience in health safety, environment and quality in the distribution, construction and warehousing sectors. He is also a mental health first aider and is RSK’s regional wellbeing representative for the West region of the UK.
