Suicide in the Construction Industry is a Crisis

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States and suicide rates for people in the construction industry are nearly 2.5 times higher than average rates in other industries.  Within the construction industry, Washington State recorded 125 deaths from suicide in 2020 alone.  To address this epidemic, Forefront Suicide Prevention has collaborated with leading construction industry companies Hensel Phelps and Lakeside Industries to produce a suicide prevention training that will improve worker safety both on and off the jobsite.
