Join Us to Help Prevent Suicide in the Construction Industry
September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and you might be stunned by the statistics related to suicide in the construction industry. While approximately 1,000 construction workers die each year from work-related accidents, nearly five times as many workers will die from suicide.
In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranks construction among the industries with the nation’s highest rate of death by suicide.
NAHB and its official safety sponsor, Builders Mutual, are committed to saving more lives. Here are some resources that should be shared across the industry to hopefully put an end to this growing crisis.
