Posted by Miron Construction
In one of the most physically demanding industries, an alarming statistic has come to light. Construction workers are four times more likely to die by suicide than the national average, according to the CDC.
Next week marks construction suicide prevention week, which aims to raise awareness and offer life-saving resources to those who need it most.
Miron Construction is focusing on the challenges workers face that can lead to higher-than-average suicide rates within the industry. A stand-down at a worksite at Maplewood Middle School in Menasha took place Tuesday.
