Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for construction

Construction loses two workers to suicide every working day in the UK, and the site culture that says 'crack on' keeps most struggles hidden. Spill gives construction firms support workers will actually use: private, on their own phone, no forms, and no one on site any the wiser. Same-day sessions run 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week.

The industry's toughest problem isn't on the risk register

A largely male workforce, over half on self-employed, agency or zero-hour contracts, faces tight deadlines, long hours, time away from home and financial insecurity. All of it is compounded by a strong stigma against discussing mental health on site. The result is one of the highest suicide rates of any UK sector.

Suicide risk

Men in construction are 3.7x more likely to die by suicide than the male national average. (ONS, via Mates in Mind 2022)

Daily stress

58% of built-environment workers experience stress often, and 50% experience anxiety often. (CIOB, 2025)

Two lives a day

On average, two construction workers take their own life every working day in the UK. (Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity, 2024)

Safer heads, safer sites

Stress and fatigue on site are safety risks as much as wellbeing ones, and construction loses around 35% of its workforce a year. Spill gives your crews a private way to deal with pressure before it becomes an incident or an exit.

Build resilience on the front line

Give your team practical tools to handle rush-hour pressure, difficult customers and long days on their feet.

Keep the team sharp

Staff who get support for personal and work struggles bring more energy to every shift.

Cut short-notice absence

Early support stops small struggles snowballing into last-minute call-outs and long sick leave.
