Topic: Suicide Prevention Awareness

A CDC Report shows that the Construction Industry is amongst the highest at-risk industries for suicide with an alarming rate of 45-53 suicide loses per 100,000 workers. The industry has identified Risk Factors that are unique to the construction.

In the course we will explore the following:

  • Statistical Overview

Bio: Steve Frost joined the construction safety world in 2007 after going back to school at the age of 25. In 2017, he joined Howard S. Wright as a Safety Health and Environmental Manager for the Portland area. One area that Steve felt drawn to is mental health and the impacts to the construction industry. Construction is the second highest at-risk occupation group that sees mental health issues; many of which lead to suicide. Steve has made it his mission to help reverse that statistic.
