Thank you for completing this survey. It probably wasn't easy for you.
When we produce the final report, which will be made public, as well as delivered to the relevant government agencies and major construction companies, we would like to humanise it as much as possible by including some short stories of those who were lost to suicide, perhaps accompanied by an image. If you would like to contribute to that, then please forward details to us at the below address:
