September is National Suicide Awareness and Prevention month. 

The greater construction industry is battling a suicide rate *four* times the national average. 

Insecurities such as COVID, an overly booming construction season, under regulated working conditions, and outside stressors are contributing factors.

The construction industry has the highest number of suicides and the highest suicide rate of any industry. As such, it is an industry imperative for contractors, unions, project owners, and industry service providers to address suicide prevention in construction as a safety priority.

The mental well-being of a company’s workforce is equally as important as their physical well-being. If anyone is struggling with mental health issues, they may ignore all efforts of protection and could be a danger to themselves and others.

Learning Objectives:

-Why Suicide Awareness and Prevention
