Welcome to Build & Thrive, the podcast dedicated to transforming occupational health and wellbeing in the construction industry. Hosted by Jennie Armstrong - nurse, trained occupational hygienist, and founder of Construction Health & Wellbeing - this podcast is your go-to resource for insights and inspiration to create a healthier, happier construction workforce.

In each episode, Jennie interviews inspirational individuals and experts who are leading the way in tackling the industry’s toughest challenges, from staggering health statistics to skills shortages and talent retention. Did you know construction workers are nearly 4 times more likely to take their own lives through suicide than workers in other industries? Or that they’re 100 times more likely to die from work-related health issues than safety incidents?

It’s clear we need to do more. Build & Thrive is here to spark change, celebrate innovation, and inspire action for a brighter future in construction.

Join us every fortnight for new episodes filled with real stories, practical advice, and the latest in health and wellbeing strategies for the construction sector.
