Statement:

"The discussions around mental health has become more prevalent in the recent years. However our industry should do more to support those who are working “on the tools” and relying on tomorrow’s pay slip to make their ends meet. There is still further scope to educate and elevate the issues arising from mental health in an industry where focus and concentration is paramount onsite."
