Seminar on Mental Health and Suicide in the Construction Sector

Compared to other occupational groups, construction workers are considered particularly vulnerable to mental ill-health and suicide.  While there is often a focus on health and safety in the construction industry, research has found that these workers are six times more likely to die by suicide than from a workplace accident.  Indeed, in high income countries - such as the USA and Australia - suicide rates among male construction industry workers are twice that of men working in other industries.  CAIRDE (Construction Alliance to Reduce Suicide) is an evidence-based Irish initiative which seeks to reduce suicide stigma, enhance knowledge around suicide, and encourage help-seeking and help-offering in the construction industry. 

You are invited to attend a free event to hear more about what CAIRDE is, how it was developed, and what is being offered to construction companies / sites.  This will take place on Wednesday 26th November 2025, from 3.00pm - 4.30pm, in Dublin.  It will be of particular interest to anyone in the construction sector, but also to anyone who has an interest in improving mental health and preventing suicide in other workplace settings.  Places are extremely limited and booking is essential.  Email This email address is being protected from spambots.
