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
