Construction workers face high suicide risks

More from this show

Construction workers have been facing high suicide risks, according to a new CDC report that analyzed suicide rates across various industries and occupations. The report found that certain occupations, such as construction, have higher rates. There could be several factors leading to this, including gender. Men tend to die of suicide at a significantly higher rate than women.

Sidney Hawkins, a Safety and Training Director at Canyon State Electric, joined “Arizona Horizon” to share more about the results of this new report.
