Business Wire
In recognition of National Suicide Prevention Week, The
Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today released a new white
paper and Risk Control eGUIDE designed to help contractors assess
and implement suicide-in-construction awareness programs.
“Data indicates that construction workers may be subject to a
greater risk of suicide, and awareness is the first step toward
prevention,” said Jennifer Lee, Vice President, National Practice
Lead, Loss Sensitive and Wrap Up, Construction at Travelers.
“Knowing the factors that could increase someone’s risk of suicide
can help contractors better identify and assist vulnerable
employees.”
Travelers is also supporting the Construction Industry Alliance
for Suicide Prevention (CIASP) and its goal of creating a
zero-suicide industry. Construction companies can access CIASP’s
trainings, posters, toolbox talks and self-assessments free of
charge to help them evaluate their mental health and suicide
prevention preparedness.
Dr. Marcos Iglesias, Vice President and Chief Medical Director
at Travelers, added, “Suicide rates have historically increased
during economic downturns and periods of higher unemployment. As
COVID-19 continues to negatively affect the workforce, we can take
steps now to help our construction customers understand mental
health issues and potentially stop an upward trend of
suicides.”
