Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to conduct a comprehensive study on suicide among construction workers to identify risk factors specific to this workforce. The study will examine employment-related factors such as job status and union membership, individual circumstances including mental health history and substance use, financial hardship, work injuries, and access to health insurance and employee assistance programs. The research will specifically look at construction workers who died by suicide to understand how various risk factors combine to affect this population. Within three years of the bill's enactment, the Secretary must submit a report to Congress with policy recommendations based on the study findings to help reduce suicide risk in the construction industry. The bill emphasizes protecting privacy by requiring all collected information to comply with federal and state privacy laws.
