Construction is a tough industry, both physically and mentally. We’re raising awareness about suicide prevention this week because mental health matters just as much as safety on the job. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available for anyone who needs help. Call or text 988 anytime you’re feeling overwhelmed.
Did you know? An estimated 6,000 construction workers by suicide in 2022, an increase from 2021, according to the most recent data available. That compares to around 1,000 who died from a construction work-related injury.
