Addressing suicide awareness and mental health in construction with Jim Ruggiero

from The Canary Report: Safety & Risk Management · host YellowBird

I explore workplace safety and construction safety management with Jim Ruggiero to understand how real risk management involves more than just procedures. Jim brings 40 years of experience from the steelworkers union and state OSHA to discuss why our industry needs a deeper focus on the human element. We talk about the personal tragedies that drive his mission and how he builds a safety culture at EDIS Company. I find his perspective on mental health and worker presence to be a vital shift for every safety leader today.
