Understanding Stress in the Construction Industry
Men who work in construction have unique challenges day in day out that cause a lot of workplace stress. Demands of the job include very long work hours, a lot of hard physical work, lack of staff, supply chain problems, the pressure of meeting overambitious tight deadlines, further pressure of having to meet health and safety regulations, job insecurity and issues with getting paid in good time for completed contracts. With all of this it is not surprising occupational stress in construction is very high. Coping with all of this stress is not easy and this industry has very low percentage of men taking time off to recuperate. What is required is a good way of coping with stress and that is what massage can offer you.
Construction Work Puts Strain on a Builders Body
Each day at work there is likely to be a lot of lifting of heavy objects. Also, the physical nature of the variety of skills men will be required to perform is taxing. Let’s face it brick laying, joinery, plumbing, electrical work, plastering are all skilled trades that take a lot of physical effort to perform every day. Lifting, stretching, twisting to get things done all day can cause physical problems. The physical stress your muscle are under all day can cause muscular tension all over your body. Somehow you need to find a way of coping and releasing that tension. Massage can sooth away that tension and allow you to feel refreshed.
As Pressure Mounts Your Mind and Wellbeing Can Suffer
Alongside the above there is a lot of mental strain at the same time. Getting things right and completing tasks on schedule is required from all teams involved. The time management required so this happens puts everyone under stress. If your job has not be completed on time then the next trade through the door won’t be able to start. For example, if your brick laying has not been complete on time and pointing hasn’t dried yet, the windows can’t be fitted. Also, if the electricians have not completed swapping new wiring for old then your plastering can’t start. The scheduling required is a complex job that has to be done right. Preconstruction planning, foundation laying, framing of floors, walls then on goes the roof, plumbing and electrical runs fitted, the list goes on. Each task needs to be completed on time for the next to begin. This is perhaps 5 or 6 months of hard work to complete on a single build. So that’s 5 or 6 months of construction stress at work. Coping with all this is difficult but, a good massage here can really help relax all your stress away.
