In honor of Construction Safety Week 2021 and the theme of Holistic Safety,
we spoke with the tradesmen and women at The Fid about mental health and wellness on the job.
Often referred to as “the silent epidemic,” construction has the second-highest suicide rate by occupation in the United States. To face this silent epidemic, we must embrace a culture of compassion. We ask that if you feel inspired, to please share this message within your own organizations and families. It might only take one helping hand to change the course of somebody’s life.
