Did you know this August is Tradies National Health Month?

August marks Tradies National Health Month, an initiative by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) to emphasise the importance of tradies' health and well-being.

Tradie Health Month shines a light on the serious impact of injuries and mental health issues within the construction industry. With the sector ranking third in injury-related claims it's crucial to address these challenges head-on. 

Falls from heights remain the leading cause of traumatic fatalities in the NSW building and construction industry. A single misstep can have catastrophic consequences, especially when falling from as little as 2 to 4 metres. Such falls can be devastating, often resulting in severe injury or even death.

Poor mental health is also a significant concern, underscoring the need for comprehensive support.

INS LifeGuard offers a range of services tailored to help tradies manage both physical injuries, falls, remote working and emotional challenges effectively. From fall detection, emergency response and emotional health support to health monitoring, INS LifeGuard is here to provide the assistance tradies need in the workplace.

INS LifeGuard’s devices for Tradies include a GPS locator that can accurately identify your location during accidents, medical emergencies, or other crises. This ensures that help is dispatched swiftly and directly to where you are, providing timely assistance when it matters most.
