September is National Suicide Prevention Month.
Construction has one of the highest suicide rates of any industry, and OSHA is encouraging employers to bring this difficult but critical conversation to their teams each September.
Our safety leaders, Brian Webster and Andrew Middleton, conducted safety standdowns across our job sites to raise awareness, share resources, and remind everyone that help is available. Talking about suicide may feel uncomfortable, but these conversations save lives.
Here are some valuable resources you can share with others:
