As this week is #SuicidePreventionWeek, we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge a serious matter that affects our industry. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the construction industry has the second-highest rate of suicide in the United States, with 53.3 suicides per 100,000 workers. This statistic is more than just a number; it represents the lives of our colleagues, friends, and family members. ? These numbers are alarming, but together we can make a difference. By raising awareness, we can help identify the signs of someone who might be struggling and offer the support they need. Check out our graphic for more information and resources on recognizing the signs and offering support. Together, we can make a change. #SuicidePrevention #ConstructionSafety
