#1 Construction Industry Groups Unite to Reduce Suicide Rate Among Construction Workers
November 5, 2018 Shane Hedmond
The construction industry ranks first in total suicides and second in suicide rate compared to all other industries in the United States, according to a 2016 study by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). This sad fact led more than 75 industry groups to form an alliance to combat the epidemic in 2016. Some of the members recently met in in Washington DC to help construction companies to better address mental health issues among their workers.
미 건설업계, 부끄러운 '건설근로자 자살률' 감소키로 합의 전 산업계, 자살건수 1위 자살률에서도 2위 차지 질병관리본부의 2016년 조사에 따르면 건설산업은 미국의 모든 산업과 비교했을 때 자살건수에서 1위를 차지했고 자살률에서도 2위를 차지했다. 이 슬픈 사실은 75개 이상이 참여한 건설산업계가 근로자의 자살 감소를 위한 합의에 도달케 했다. 일부 회원들은 최근 워싱턴 DC에서 건설회사들이 근로자들의 정신건강 문제를 더 잘 해결할 수 있도록 돕기 위해 만났다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Cheol Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |

Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. (ABC) recently reported that they were 1 of 17 organizations to meet during National Suicide Prevention Month. The 17 groups in attendance make up a portion of the Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention, which was founded by the Construction Financial Management Association two years ago.

Members of the group include ABC, Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA), and National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), among many others.
“Our industry’s steadfast commitment to safety needs to extend beyond our jobsites to ensure that workers struggling with mental health issues get the help they need,” said Greg Sizemore, ABC vice president of health, safety, environment and workforce development, who attended the meeting, in a press release. “We are proud to be part of the Alliance to draw attention to the national issue of suicide risk and help increase access to mental health across the construction industry.”
The Alliance for Suicide Prevention has several free resources available on its website, including webinars, flyers & posters, action steps, FAQs, and important links.
If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, you can always call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, which offers free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention, and crisis resources. .

#2 China's CSCEC to train 10,000 Egyptian construction workers
by Jack Ball on Nov 6, 2018
The agreement by CSECE’s board of directors to bear the cost of training the workers followed a meeting with Egyptian Prime Minister, Mostafa Madbouly, as reported by Egypt Today.
Financial Times
중국 최대건설사 CSECE, 1만명 이집트 건설 노동자 양성 이집트 행정 수도 건설프로젝트 수요 노동자 훈련 비용 부담 위한 CSECE 이사회에 의한 협정은 오늘 이집트가 보도한 바와 같이 이집트 총리 모스타파 매드부울리와의 회의 이후에 이루어졌다. 이집트 주택부 장관으로도 활동하고 있는 매드보울리는 새 수도에 있는 정부 부처와 정부 기관의 건물들이 이집트 기업에 의해 빠르게 건설되고 있으며 중국 기업들에게 이집트 기업만큼 빨리 움직여 줄 것을 촉구했다고 말했다. 카이로에 본사를 둔 이 통신은 후안 킹 CSCEC 회장이 CSCEC에서 근로자 훈련을 위한 추가 전문가를 파견하기 위해 별도의 회의가 열릴 것이라고 언급하면서 건설 작업이 지연되지 않을 것이라고 말했다. 중국 최대의 건설사인 CSCEC은 현재 수도 카이로에서 동쪽으로 약 50km 떨어진 이집트 신행정수도의 중심 경제지구를 건설하고 있다. 맨하탄 섬의 약 12배 크기인 700km2의 육지에서 개발될 이 거대한 목표는 증가하는 도시 인구에 대해 카이로의 만성적인 정체 문제를 해결하기 위해 야심적으로 내놓은 계획 중 하나이다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Cheol Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |

Madbouly, who also acts as the country’s Housing Minister, said that buildings of the ministries and government institutions in the new capital are being constructed quickly by Egyptian companies and urged Chinese companies to move as fast as their Egyptian peers.
The Cairo-based news outlet added that Juan King, CSCEC chairman, said there will be no delay in construction works, noting a separate meeting will take place at CSCEC to send extra experts to Egypt to train the workers.
China’s largest construction conglomerate, CSCEC is tasked with building the central business district of Egypt’s new administration capital some 50km east of current capital Cairo.
To be developed on a land area of 700km2 – around 12 times the size of Manhattan Island – the megaproject is one of the initiatives rolled out to tackle Cairo’s chronic congestion problem against a backdrop of a growing urban population.

The news came on the second day of Madbouly’s visit to Shanghai where he reportedly told officials of Beijing-based CSCEC that Egyptian President Fatah al-Sisi “follows up on the developments in the new capital on a daily basis”.
The capital city project is a result of a memorandum of understanding signed in 2015 between UAE-based Capital City Planners and Egypt’s government to build a new city that can accommodate a population of five million.
