SUMMARY:2021 Mental Health & Suicide Prevention: The Next Dimension in Safety Culture Webinar with Michelle Walker
DESCRIPTION:Construction is the most at-risk industry for suicide with more suicides and a higher suicide rate than any other industry\, and 4x higher than the national average. In an industry with such a focus on safety\, we must take steps to address this issue that is taking an estimated 5x as many lives as all job site fatalities combined*.\n\nJust as the safety culture in the industry has changed over the past decade thanks to leadership support\, industry pressure\, and investment in training   so can the suicide statistics. With vocal leadership support\, training\, and resources\, we can equip and empower our employees to help themselves and their co-workers who may be at risk of suicide. In addition\, just as we encourage employees to put their safety knowledge to work at home and adopt a "Safety 24/7" mentality\, employees trained to recognize mental health issues and suicide risk can benefit family or friends who may exhibit warning signs\, helping to reduce the ripple effect of suicide.\n\nA presentation on Suicide Prevention in Construction will address why construction is so at risk   what are the risk factors causing this   and what are the protective and preventative measures that contractors can take to address them. In addition\, warning signs and what to do if an individual appears at-risk will be discussed\, as well as identifying the resources available for contractors to integrate suicide prevention into their companies.
