So, what is being done to reduce occupational stress?
2nd May 2025Over the past decade, the construction sector has done a fantastic amount of work to raise awareness and reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues.
For example, in 2016, The Health in Construction Leadership Group (HCLG) together with the British Safety Council, launched ‘Mates in Mind’ – a charity that aims to promote positive mental health across all organisations in the UK.
There has also been a huge amount of work done within construction companies, for example:
These are all fantastic steps forward, but the fact of the matter is that construction workers are still struggling:
So, it’s clear that, although there have been some big steps forward as a sector, more needs to be done – especially when it comes to reducing stress in the workplace.
Management teams are under a huge amount of pressure - managing budgets, meeting deadlines, liaising with suppliers, ensuring H&S compliance, managing team activities, prioritising staff welfare, staying on track with environmental targets… the list is endless! It’s a difficult balancing act, and you certainly don’t need any more stress on your plate!
This is where RVT come in. Our goal is to provide a hassle-free hazard control service, specifically designed to reduce stress and give you peace of mind. We can take on all the calculations, logistics, installation, and ongoing support – giving you one less thing to worry about!
Discuss: You contact us with your challenge by phone, e-mail or through our website. We then ask you a series of questions to understand as much about the project as possible, and if required, we send one of our technical consultants to site, to ensure it is scoped correctly. Don’t worry, this consultancy is completely free of charge!
Plan: Once we have all the information we need, our team begin developing a proposal for a fully compliant, reliable, and efficient hazard control solution. Depending on how complex your project is, we may supply you with a few different proposals containing drawings and calculations.
We will then talk you through the options, either on the phone or at a face-to-face meeting. This step is very important because our number one priority is to deliver you a solution that aligns with your priorities.
Depending on the complexity of the project, we can quote for a ‘drop-and-go’ service, a part-installed service, a fully commissioned service, or a fully commissioned service with ongoing engineer support. The bottom line is that we can offer you as much or as little support as you require.
Execute: Once you are happy with the proposal, we ask you to issue us with a PO and confirm what date you require the systems on site. We will calculate the RAMs and organise the logistics. We will then work with your teams to ensure we have all of the necessary clearances to begin work.
You will have access to our technical support team from the very start to very end of your project (by phone or in person) - ensuring that any problems are resolved immediately so that you do not experience any down time.
…Because at RVT, we don’t just provide solutions - we deliver peace of mind.
