EIC Update


Addiction and mental health A


ddiction has risen by a staggering 217% within the electrical industry, with cocaine the main drug of choice but alcohol consumption also up 38%. Unfortunately, individuals with a substance abuse issue are also more likely to have experience of mental illness. People aff ected by mental illness often turn to substances to self-medicate, using alcohol and drugs to escape anxiety. This often ends up making symptoms worse instead. While substance abuse doesn’t cause mental health disorders, it’s certainly a factor in the development of a number of disorders, often acting as a trigger for people predisposed. This was the case with Dave, coming from a family that had a history of depression and psychosis. His parents worked long hours, often leaving him at home for extended periods of time and, as a teenager, he’d invite friends to the

house to smoke marijuana. By the time he was 16, Dave was smoking marijuana every day. Around this time, Dave started an apprenticeship and was the youngest worker on site. He started going out with the team on Thursday and Friday nights and his drug habit increased progressively until he was using MDMA and ecstasy every weekend.


With his increased drug use, Dave’s moods got progressively worse. His sleep deteriorated, his college work was starting to slip, and he was increasingly late for work.


Following an incident at work, his erratic behaviour was noted by superiors and the EIC arranged a psychiatric assessment. Diagnosed with drug-induced psychosis, Dave was hospitalised for three months giving him the opportunity to get the support he needed and complete a detox programme. He was assigned a therapy team and was able to stabilise his


addictive behaviour, regain his mental health, and eventually return to work.


The help Dave was able to access was due to the support of the EIC and the powerLottery. Without powerLottery, EIC would not be able to off er support to people like Dave. That’s why the EIC needs you to become a powerLottery player to help it to continue supporting our industry members. PowerLottery is the only lottery made for our industry by our industry. It gives players 40 chances to win cash prizes ranging from £50 to £1,000 every single month. A £10,000 draw bi- yearly gives you even more opportunity to win BIG. A new car, a holiday in the sun, a kitchen re-fi t or a brand-new wardrobe… Think of all the diff erent ways you could spend £10,000.

thermostat is something that installers can easily add to their customers’ home heating, allowing householders to control and monitor the room temperature and thermostat activity from anywhere in the world, via an app on a smartphone or tablet. Smart choice


Sangamo’s Wi-Fi thermostat offers energy efficient programming and remote access via the Sangamo choice app. It has been designed to be straightforward to install and operate and is suitable for electric, gas or oil systems. It allows control and monitoring of room temperature and thermostat activity from anywhere in the world, through the free to download app.


It is estimated that 6% of households in the UK already have smart thermostats, according to YouGov, which adds up to 1.67 million homes. That is just a fraction of the 22 million households estimated to be affected by the new energy price hike. Helping homeowners understand how their heating system is performing and how they can make small changes to improve its efficiency should be a priority for installers. By recommending the installation of smart thermostats and giving advice on heating controls, they can help householders to make immediate savings.


The Sangamo range of heating and timer controls is suitable for domestic, commercial, and industrial use. ESP believes its comprehensive off er is making it easier for installers and contractors to select the right solutions for a variety of projects and is providing wholesalers with a greater choice of products and support that will encourage upselling.
