Real Talk Really Helps.

If someone opens up to you, don't brush it off. Don't tell them to “toughen up.” don't assume they'll get over it.

Listen. Take them seriously. Help connect them with someone who can help.

We ask our coworkers if they're ready for the day.
We ask if they need a hand.
We ask if they have the right tools.

But sometimes we need to ask something else:

“How are you really doing?”

Because the guy who is always joking might be having a rough time, and the person who seems quiet might have a lot on their mind.

And the coworker who always says “I'm good” might not actually be good.

You don't need to be a counselor.
You don't need to have the perfect words.
You just need to care enough to ask—and listen.

And if someone does open up, don't try to fix everything yourself. Help them connect with someone who can.

If you or someone you know needs immediate support, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Safety City can help you develop Mental Health Toolbox Talks and arm your team with effective strategies for discussing stressors with coworkers.

Looking out for each other is part of safety.

Healthy minds. Stronger crews. Safer Jobsites.

SEPTEMBER IS SU***DE PREVENTION MONTH

We talk about safety on the jobsite every day. We talk about PPE, fall protection, equipment, hazards and looking out for the person working beside us.

Mental health is safety, too.

Construction workers are more than 4× as likely to die by su***de as workers in other industries.

Behind every hard hat is a person dealing with life, stress, pressure, relationships, finances, long hours, injuries, uncertainty—and sometimes struggles nobody else can see.

You don't have to handle it alone!

Talk to somebody.
A coworker.
A foreman.
A superintendent.
A project manager.
A safety pro.
A friend.
A family member.
Anyone you trust.

And if you or someone you know is struggling, help is available 24/7.

📞 Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

As an industry, we need to make looking out for each other part of the job—not just physically, but mentally.

That's why Safety City now includes mental health awareness in safety training.

Healthy minds. Stronger crews. Safer Jobsites.

Sometimes the most important thing you can do for your coworker is simply ask:

“Are you doing okay?”
