Individuals in Certain Occupations

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health published job factors that can contribute to individuals being at high-risk in some occupations. These factors include low job security, low pay, and job stress. Other factors include gender, socioeconomic status, economic climate, physical nature of the work, and societal norms. In addition to law enforcement and first responders, workers in occupations such as construction, mining/oil, and agriculture should also be considered as special populations to focus suicide prevention efforts in Florida.
