Ryebridge is once again highlighting its commitment to staff health and wellbeing by organising free medical check-ups as part of Men's Health Awareness Month.
An occupational nurse will be visiting the company's Luton and Southampton offices to carry out PSA (prostate-specific antigen), cholesterol and blood sugar tests.
PSA tests are not typically offered routinely by the NHS, but are blood tests that a protein made by the prostate gland, and are used to diagnose prostate problems including cancer.
A high cholesterol test is the only way of measuring cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, as high cholesterol has no symptoms, while a blood sugar test will check levels glucose in the blood to diagnose and monitor conditions like diabetes.
Ryebridge health, safety and wellbeing manager Karen Carter gave a presentation to staff about the signs of prostate cancer at a recent company meeting.
She said: "Men's Health Awareness Month is an opportunity to raise awareness of the physical and mental health challenges men face, encouraging them to seek help and prioritise their well-being. During this month, there is a focus on issues such as prostate and testicular cancer, as well as mental health struggles like stress and depression, which are common in the construction industry.
"Ryebridge believes in a proactive approach to tackling these issues, and doing whatever we can to help our lads keep fit and healthy, both physically and mentally."
