The Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) has released a public video on mental health awareness and suicide prevention, addressing the high rate of suicide in the construction industry. MCAA President Robert Beck highlighted the urgent need for a new approach to mental health in the industry. The 22-minute video is part of MCAA’s commitment to safety excellence and is a significant step in making job sites safer for workers in the mechanical industry and construction sector.
Previously, MCAA’s safety resources were exclusive to its members, but this video marks a shift in making such crucial resources available to a wider audience. The United Association (UA) General President, Mark McManus, also emphasized the importance of this initiative in improving industry-wide safety and health.
The video is available in both English and Spanish on YouTube and further information can be found on MCAA’s website.
The MCAA, representing thousands of firms employing union workers, has been dedicated to guiding member success and promoting innovation in the mechanical contracting industry for over a century.
