Construction loses 6 times more workers to suicide than to jobsite accidents. Suicide prevention in construction isn't a wellness topic — it's a safety emergency.

In this episode of Coastlines to Cranes, host Shandon Harbour speaks from inside the industry about how ABC San Diego got involved in suicide prevention training, what employee check-ins actually reveal, and why total worker health has to be part of how construction companies lead.

Key Takeaways

• Mental health and suicide prevention are critical parts of construction safety.
• People-centered leadership means checking in, listening, and creating space for real conversations.
• Total human health includes mental, emotional, financial, and personal well-being, not just physical safety.
