At What Cost

Workplace suicide rates are rising and have become an increasing concern.  Researchers say that men are statistically more likely to take their life while on the job.  The American Journal of Preventive Medicine study also observed that the global economic crisis in 2008 impacted suicide rates for the worse. Employees At Highest Risk For Work-Related Suicide include:

1. Law enforcement officers, firefighters, and detectives
2. Soldiers throughout service branches
3. Farmers, fishery, and forestry workers
4. Installation, maintenance, automotive, and repair technicians
5. Truck drivers and laborers
6. Management, business, and financial operation positions
7. Janitors, cleaners, and landscapers
