CFMA New York City reposted this
In honor of Suicide Prevention Awareness Week, Stefano Braganti, PE, SSM, founder of SafetyClerk, my colleague Maria Fernanda Molina, Alex Diaz, Ph.D., and I attended the CFMA New York City NYC roundtable on Mental Health & Suicide in the construction industry. Led by Rob Labbe, Jr., CSP, we learned the shocking statistic that the construction industry faces suicide rates 4 times higher than the national average. The demanding nature of the job – from tough working conditions to high pressure – plays a significant role. Rob's efforts, including his Hike for Hope campaign, are crucial in raising awareness and addressing these challenges.
