With high rates of fatal and non-fatal injuries, the construction industry is one of the most hazardous, but many do not realize that the safety and health concerns go beyond job site accidents.
People in the construction industry are particularly susceptible to mental health issues and suicide, and the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the rates of mental health issues across the industry and country as a whole.
As reported by the NAHB, more construction workers die by suicide each day than all workplace-related fatalities combined, and per a CDC report, the construction and extraction occupational group has had the highest male suicide rate out of all major occupation groups multiple times within the last 10 years.
