Mental Health First Aid

SafeSpine/SafeMind is a mandatory workshop and forms part of the mobilisation requirements for anyone working on the SEPA - South Eastern Program Alliance.

It is a unique, science-based approach to helping individuals, leaders and teams access their best and then make their best even better.

This workshop provides basic knowledge in the mental health area so the selected group can speak to people confidently, help raise awareness and address mental health stigma. It also goes through the ways in which to support individuals towards better health outcomes promoting the positive aspects of mental health and wellbeing.

Occupational aggression, be it physical or verbal, has become a global problem in work settings and occupational groups. The incidence of confrontational situations has gained momentum in recent years and is now a priority concern for most workplaces with a service-oriented environment. These conflictive situations can occur in a number of settings within the workplace. Either internally such as face-to-face, telephone or email communication, or externally when offsite working in the community.

Treating people with courtesy and respect is a core principle at Laing O'Rourke and we are committed to achieving a harmonious work environment free from bullying, discrimination, harassment, vilification and victimisation.

This nationally recognised advanced first aid training course covers a broad range of topics to enable participants to respond to advanced first aid situations and manage the incident and other first aiders until an ambulance or other medical support arrives. Upon enrolment into this course you are required to complete the mandatory theory learning and assessment. This is done online in your own time prior to your face-to-face training days.

At Laing O’Rourke, our commitment is to both physical and psychological safety, because we know that simply managing physical risk is no longer enough. We push the boundaries of what is possible on site to ensure our people are safe at work. We are 'Rethinking Safety through Inclusion + Wellbeing' because everyone's voice matters and because we care. It is mandatory for all personnel working on the South Eastern Program Alliance to attend and complete this workshop as outlined in our mobilisation process.
