#Mentalhealth is still a no-go zone for many, with 4 in 5 workers not discussing it with their bosses out of fear of being stigmatised and judged incapable. This is one of the findings from a recent survey conducted by @IOSH_tweets and @MT_editorial: bit.ly/30F7bBQ

70% of workers on large UK #construction sites haven't been trained on the dangers of solar radiation exposure and #skincancer risks. Recent research with @HeriotWattUni and @IOMworld investigated what's preventing workers adopting sun-safety behaviours: bit.ly/2MAKgEq
