From OSHA: Prioritize Mental Health

In 2022, more than 5,000 construction workers died by suicide. As we recognize World Mental Health Day on Friday, Oct. 10, let's raise awareness, reduce the stigma around mental health conversations at work, and support employers, workers, and their families. By sharing resources and encouraging open dialogue, together we can help save lives. Visit OSHA's website to learn more.
