For the second year in a row, Massachusetts has been named one of the top 10 safest states in the U.S., according to WalletHub’s 2023 Safest States in America list. WalletHub compared all 50 states across five metrics covering key safety indicators, including personal and residential safety, financial safety, road safety, workplace safety and emergency preparedness. States were also compared across 52 key safety indicators. This year Massachusetts moved up a notch, ranking fifth on the list. It also ranked No. 2 for road safety, fifth for personal and residential safety, 10th for financial safety, 10th for emergency preparedness and 24th for workplace safety. #bostonrealestate #safecitys #realestate #boston

It is great to see the No Falls Foundation launch its first-ever #NoFallsWeek. When we established #LOBOSystems over 20 years ago, we set out with a clear mission - to keep those working at height safe. Unfortunately, there has been a recent rise in the number of working at height injuries caused by inadequate training and inappropriate systems. Throughout 13th - 17th May 2024, we’ll be posting key content in support of #NoFallsWeek to help keep those who work at height safe. Nobody should ever leave for work and fail to return home. Some useful statistics and background can be found here - https://lnkd.in/ekTyy9dz #LOBO #WorkPlatform #WorkingAtHeight #SafetyAtWork #AccessPlatformSystem #AdvancedGuardRailMethod #ISO9001 #OSHA

Having work requirements for safety net benefits fails to recognize that 1) not everyone *can* work, and 2) the circumstances that lead to people needing benefits at all is an issue of systemic inequities, not personal responsibility. Now, as New York City reinstates work requirement rules to obtain public benefits like cash assistance, the bureaucratic issues already plaguing our systems will only add another barrier to access and exacerbate the caseload backlog. With HRA already struggling to distribute these subsistence benefits, this rule will keep more people from accessing vital benefits when they most need them, as NYLAG's Abby Biberman explained for Gothamist: https://lnkd.in/eijgRn-Q

Did you know that roughly 27% of Americans work at night? 🚧   Take a behind-the-scenes look at Flatiron’s night shift crew as they enhance the U.S. 50 Multimodal Corridor Enhancement and Rehabilitation project in Sacramento.     The U.S. 50 project is a 24/7 operation, with up to 66% of construction occurring at night. Nighttime construction work benefits from cooler temperatures and reduces commuter disruptions. Safety is paramount to all Flatiron projects. U.S. 50 Health & Safety Specialist Adelia Bartelme emphasizes the importance of driver awareness. “These people put themselves on the line, every night. Be safe and smart out there.”     #TransformingInfrastructure #FlatironProject #Nightshift #SlowDownMoveOver #California
