Total Human Health
Join ABC as we embark on a journey with our members to discuss Total Human Health in the Construction Industry.
Whether you have a personal link to mental health or know someone who does, it is crucial for everyone to comprehend these significant matters and how we can provide support.
You are never alone.
What Is Total Human Health?
Total human health is focused on building a resilient workforce that is connected though relationships and engaged in performing construction work to a high standard of safety, quality and effectiveness. Traditional OSHA-required safety measures are focused primarily on the body of workers and their observable behaviors. We must look deeper into the complexity of conditions that affect the decision-making process of our workforce while performing their mission-critical tasks.
Through a holistic approach that considers the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and emotional health, we can cultivate a strong workforce that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and a shared sense of purpose. By valuing the whole person and acknowledging the complexities of their experiences, we lay the foundation for a healthier, happier, and more productive work environment.
Enhancing human health involves prioritizing worker safety by recognizing and addressing common daily concerns. This can be accomplished by incorporating:
- A whole-person approach to engage a person’s body, mind, heart and soul.
- Psychological safety that is respectful and inclusive of a diverse workforce.
- Acknowledgement of the risk of distraction and impairment and responding with appropriate care.
