Federal study would explore suicide risks for construction workers

This bill would require the government to study why construction workers die by suicide. The Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the CDC, would look at various job and personal factors. The goal is to create policy ideas to help prevent suicide among these workers.

What Would Change

Today, there is no federal requirement for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a specific study on suicide risk factors faced by construction workers. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary, through the CDC, would be required to conduct such a study and submit a report with policy recommendations to Congress within 3 years.
