🎧 S4:Episode 2 - Lifting Each Other Up!

In this episode of Stuck In A Lift, we open up about the often-overlooked topic of mental health in the lift industry. From the long hours and lone working to the pressures of keeping people moving safely, life in the trade can take its toll. We talk about the real challenges engineers and industry professionals face and why it’s so important to speak up, look out for one another, and build a culture where support isn’t just a slogan, but a shared responsibility.

Whether you’re on the tools, in the office, or running the show, this episode is for anyone who believes that wellbeing should be part of the job, not an afterthought.
