TW: Depression, Addiction, Suicide Nobody shies away from hard work, but what happens when everything else around you becomes hard to bear? Some may reach out for help, take steps to improve their situation and strengthen their efforts. Many others might not get help or know how to. Instead, they’ll fall into deep depression or addiction, which can lead to many more issues. This is especially true for high-risk industries like construction, which is currently facing record-high suicide and substance abuse rates. Safety Pro Brian Camper joined us to talk about contributing factors to depression and suicide in high risk industries, and what can be done to reduce the loss of life.

As we approach summer, you don’t just have barbecues and vacations to plan for. Increased temperatures and sun exposure can also rear their heads and lead to increased heat exhaustion, especially on outdoor heavy-duty project sites. As most professionals already know, extreme heat is bad news for everyone and can lead to injury, accidents, and reduced efficiency. According to OSHA and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 3,300 heat-related injuries and illnesses occur every year, and nearly 34,000 days away from work are due to exposure. The bottom line: staying cool and out of the heat matters. Join the Mojo AI team as we discuss how to avoid heat illness on the job during summer months.
