Quality Plumber Week 7 October - 13 October 2019
Quality Plumber Week is organised by the Association of Plumbing & Heating Contractors (APHC) and this year aim to raise awareness of what poor mental health is and what can be done to improve and help safeguard the mental health and wellbeing of plumbing and heating contractors and has the support of the Samaritans.
Paul McDonald, Executive Director of External Affairs at Samaritans, said: “We are pleased that the Association of Plumbing & Heating Contractors is raising awareness of Samaritans service and supporting our Real People, Real Stories campaign during Quality Plumber Week. Plumbing and heating contractors often work on their own and don’t always have the same level of interaction that other people might have in the workplace, so it’s important to raise awareness of the support available and encourage people to seek help.”
The mental health of plumbing and heating contractors is an important matter as one in six UK workers struggle with mental health problems which equates to around 350,000 construction workers, and suicide is the leading cause of death among males aged 15 to 49.
