Construction Worker Suicide Prevention Awareness

Construction Suicide Prevention

The construction industry has one of the highest rates of suicides among all occupations — four times higher than the general population. In Michigan, the construction and extraction occupation suicide rate was 75.4 per 100,000 people in 2019 according to MDHHS. Each year in Sept., OSHA dedicates a week to raising awareness about the challenges workers face in the construction industry that may lead to suicide or other mental health issues and methods to prevent it.
