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. Hereās 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 territoryās #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.
@ProPublica Just watched āDarkWatersā about West Va and how DuPont poisoned waters. But it didnāt end! Coal waste, fracking etc. caused locals to shut down wells and use bottled water. But many still use their wells, animals drink from polluted streams and WV residents still die from high rates of cancer and heart disease. I witnessed my long time friend die of lung cancer. He loved WV and refused to leave. A beautiful place destroyed by man!
@ProPublica
Between the chemical companies and the fossil fuel companies, we are going to have to build a bunch of new prisons to incarcerate all these murderers. How many have died over the decades? It will be impossible to calculate. Those who knew must be prosecuted.
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 Floydās death in 2020 are rethinking what safety experts called a āknee-jerk reactionā as fights and incidents with guns that endanger students spark concern.
