9 things you need to know about the inside story of how 3M allowed PFOS to seep into all of us while sitting on research that showed the chemical is toxic.
Tip of the day: Our Earth is struck by lightning eight million times per day and the power of a single strike can shut down electricity for a house, a neighborhood, or more. But there are also other potential causes of power outages, outages that can lead to data loss. Here’s one way to try and minimize potential losses of your data. #safety#tipofthedayhttps://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220503-protecting-data-ups
At 17 plants, violations of the territory’s #WaterQuality standards & #WorkplaceSafety standards ranged from chlorine management or testing issues to inadequate staff training.
5 #Nunavut communities had no certified plant operators at the time of their inspections; three others are under public health orders to fix issues.
I took this picture while passing through a parking lot on my lunch today. This is a severe workplace OSHA infraction. This worker is not wearing any fall protection. He was the only person working on this structure at the time of this photo (there were two workers in the parking lot on a lunch break.)
He appeared to be installing some metal flashing along the edge.
In the photo you can see how extremely dangerous his situation is if...
you have an idea how wide an I-beam is, and
you can see that his right foot is at the very edge of the upright beam - it's only as wide as his shoe.
one miss-step, a gust of wind, a distraction, slipping or losing balance while installing material, etc., and he falls to his death.*
you know that falling from a height of 4ft or more, can cause serious injury and even death.

Should police officers be deployed in schools for safety?
Are the children safe?
Some U.S. school districts that removed police officers in the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020 are rethinking what safety experts called a “knee-jerk reaction” as fights and incidents with guns that endanger students spark concern.
No, really. Be sure to use protective eyewear when #flintknapping or doing other #archaeology experiments. If you flintknap a whole lot, wear a mask to minimize silica dust inhalation (silicosis disease). #Safety
$1286 needed ASAP for my #disabled family to have #food#safety a roof over our head and avoid losing my license which would make us lose our only #home if we can't raise enough for the hotel yet another week
$431 to replenish food funds
$800 for the hotel #URGENT
$200 for car insurance
Sunday we lose the hotel if we can't raise this #MutualAid
This is an #emergency
This community already failed us leaving us homeless and evicted
Periodic friendly reminder that the Covid pandemic is not over, kiddos! We're still All Up In It, and a new variant is starting to make the rounds. Wear your mask in public. Don't go out or to work if you're feeling even a little sick. No, a negative Covid test does not necessarily mean that you don't have Covid. No, a negative Covid test does not mean you aren't contagious. No, a negative Covid test does not mean "it's just allergies".
If writing to legislators is your kind of thing, now might be a good time to remind them that we still 100% need unlimited free Covid tests, vaccines, and paid medical leave.
Coincidentally, this seems to expose a gap in #Fediverse security—since right now there's no way for me to continue posting to a hashtag I use frequently and avoid this user, who openly admits that they use .social to browse hashtags and then quote posts.
The only way I can use a hashtag on this federated network is to make my post publicly visible. Doesn't that make all hashtag-based communities here vulnerable to surveillance and potential abuse?
@adnan Maybe the #Fediverse would benefit from some kind of "listed and fediverse-public but not external-public" level of post visibility that would allow people to have their posts on hashtags propagated across the fediverse and visible internally within the federated timeline but not visible via pages like the non-authenticated external search on most instances to people who are not logged in 🤔
