Construction safety culture has evolved since the iconic “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper” photo, but safety incidents, including suicides, are rising.
The construction industry faces a mental health crisis, with suicide rates significantly higher than other fatal work-related injuries.
Leaders like Fred Mills and Brian Murray advocate for mental health awareness, and companies are investing in initiatives and partnerships to address mental health in construction.
Prioritizing mental health not only improves worker well-being but also enhances productivity, creativity, and retention, crucial for tackling the skilled labor shortage and driving a safer, more inclusive industry.
