Construction workers face nearly twice the suicide risk compared to the general population.

02 - EVIDENCE

Three pillars. One evidence chain.

Evidence & Measurement

Peer-reviewed surveys, longitudinal studies, and validated wellbeing instruments adapted for construction realities.

02

Industry & Fieldwork

Site-based research with contractors, unions, and workers — grounded in the reality of scaffolds, shifts, and safety briefings.
