Zero accidents is only half the battle. Zero suicides is the other half.

The numbers don’t lie:

• Construction suicides are 4–5× the national average

• #2 cause of death in our industry — more than falls

• 83 % of us have thought about it

• One lost worker costs $1–$3 million

One 45 minute talk from the ready mix salesman who chose the point of no return and survived:

• Qualifies for insurance premium credits

• Counts toward OSHA safety hours

• Turns your safety program from posters to real conversations

I’ve spent over 8 years selling concrete, block, and building materials to the trades across Central Florida. I know the job sites, the crews, and the culture — because I’ve lived it.

I survived the darkness that nearly killed me. And I see that same darkness in construction today.

Most guys won’t go to a therapist. But they will talk on a tailgate or trailer at 6am — if one of their own starts the conversation.

I walk the same sites you and your team’s do - every week.

I am One of Their Own!

True safety doesn’t end when the shift does.

Safety isn’t just about protecting workers while they’re on the clock. It’s about making sure they get home and back safe — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally 24/7.

• On the Job: PPE, training, and protocols prevent accidents.

• Off the Job: Stress, isolation, addiction, and silence put lives at risk.

• The Gap: Companies measure safety in lost‑time incidents, but ignore the invisible losses happening after hours.

The Solution: Peer-to-Peer Life Safety

The answer isn’t another corporate training video or a clinical expert who doesn’t speak the language of the trade.

It must come from a peer — someone who has walked the walk and survived.
