We are #ABCMeritShopProud of the great work ABC chapters and members are doing across the country in support of #SuicidePreventionMonth.
The health & safety of construction professionals is a core value of ABC Florida East Coast Chapter and Kast Construction. As part of National Suicide Prevention Month, ABC Cares Foundation and partner Harm Reduction Center, LLC held a safety standdown on suicide prevention at the Riverwalk residences in downtown Fort Lauderdale. A culture of physical & mental health and safety cannot exist without a commitment from industry leaders like Kast Construction. We appreciate DEWALT showing up to support our safety goals. Thanks to a collaborative partnership with #OSHA, Associated Builders and Contractors helps member contractors maintain a safe and healthy work environment, ensuring all construction professionals go home healthy and safe at the end of every shift. #ABCMeritShopProud #SuicidePreventionMonth
