Improving mental health and safety in the construction industry

该项目旨在量化建筑工人所面临的社会心理风险因素之间的相互依赖关系，并有助于制定改善澳大利亚建筑行业心理健康和安全的战略。由于高心理风险，澳大利亚建筑工人的自杀率比非建筑工人高84%。这些社会心理风险因素及其相互依赖性的量化将有助于制定有效的战略。该项目的长期影响包括改善建筑工人的心理健康，降低自杀率和心理健康工作补偿，提高员工生产力，减少事故和伤害。该项目将使澳大利亚成为建筑行业心理健康和安全方面的全球领导者。

This project aims to quantify the interdependencies of the psychosocial risk factors the construction workforce is exposed to and contribute to developing strategies for improving the mental health and safety of the Australian construction industry. The suicide rate of Australian construction workers is 84 per cent higher than non-construction workers due to the high psychosocial risks involved. The quantification of these psychosocial risk factors and their interdependencies will enable effective strategies to be designed. The long-term impacts of this project include improving the mental health of the construction workforce, reducing suicide rates and mental health work compensation, enhancing employee productivity, and reducing accidents and injuries. This project will make Australia a global leader in mental health and safety of the construction industry.
