The free helpline, available on 0845 873 7726, offers advice on:

• getting an employee back to work after long-term sickness;
• managing the impact on the business of an employee taking time off work because of ill health;
• supporting an employee still at work but with health issues;
• supporting an employee off work who wants to return; and
• developing a working culture where illness is less likely to occur.

Michelle Aldous, the chief executive of CBH, said: “Once again, CBH reinforces its commitment to growing a secure occupational health culture in construction.”
