Hey, Tough Guy!
A Focus on Mental Health in Construction
Along with dedicating time to present Amerson Supervisor Safety Award certificates to the best of the best jobsite supervisors, AGC Georgia’s upcoming Members First series turns the spotlight on the importance of
Empowering Healthy Connections at Work
. Join us to celebrate deserving professionals and to also start a critical discussion on how to remove the stigma from mental health among the Tough Guys in the industry.
More and more studies are reporting that the suicide rate within the construction industry is on the rise. AGC of America has also reported on the topic in Constructor magazine. Members of AGC Georgia’s Safety Committee are taking bold steps to start a dialogue within the industry and educate company leaders on how changes to a company culture can make a big impact.
Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas, a mental health authority, reports from a 2018 CDC study (Peterson, et al, 2018) that 20% of all men who died by suicide in the U.S. worked in the construction/extraction industry. That would mean an estimated 5,000 men in the industry died by suicide — over nine-times more than all of the fatal four deaths together. These are eye-opening statistics that are impossible to ignore.
Our keynote speakers for this Members First series are behavioral professionals. They will focus on the importance of the buddy system and how to get Tough Guys to talk about feelings and thoughts of suicide.
Along with this program’s discussion, the AGC Georgia Safety Committee is working to develop an
Empowering Healthy Connections at Work
campaign that will coincide with the nationally recognized Construction Safety Week on May 4-8, 2020.
