Among construction workers aged 16-64, drug-related overdose deaths dropped 28.8% from 2023 to 2024. Although 11,000 workers in our industry dying in a year from an overdose is still much too high, the reduction marks meaningful progress and good news! Deaths by suicide have also declined.

We are encouraged by this progress, but our efforts must continue. To make even more substantial reductions in overdose and suicide deaths, the essential actions our industry is already taking must be accompanied by more upstream efforts like reduction of injuries causing pain, increased availability of paid leave, anti-bullying training and policies, and stronger safety culture. Together they can weave a tapestry of interventions that will lead to continued decreases in these preventable deaths.![]()
