Illinois Department of Labor investigates 'worker safety issues' at Cook County morgue
The Illinois Department of Labor is investigating complaints about "worker safety issues" at the Cook County medical examiner's office. Labor spokeswoman Anjali Julka says the department got a call this month about issues at the morgue, but she wouldn't provide more details.
Penalty of $185,000 for child labor violations and worker retaliation
Courtey of MassCOSH - Raynham, Mass. – Xue Ying You and Casidy Lu – owners of New York Buffet in Somerset and the now defunct Grand China Buffet in Raynham have been ordered to pay over $50,000 in back wages and more than $130,000 in penalties for serious and intentional violations of the Massachusetts Minimum Wage, Child Labor and Anti-Retaliation Laws by Attorney General Martha Coakley’s Office. “This is very welcome news,” said Mirna Montano, a worker rights organizer at the Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health (MassCOSH), who assisted the workers. “For these workers, who courageously stood up against labor abuses, justice seems to finally be in reach.”...Helping You Solve Your Problems At Work
Safety issues are an important topic in today's workplace, especially with the rise in accidents in places of work and business. Accidents may often be small, but they can also lead to life-altering results such as mutilation and even death. The most common type of safety issue in workplaces relates to tripping and falling, however, there are many other causes to be considered. An organization with a superior policy for dealing with safety issues should be considering topics such as ergonomics and the arrangement of the space so that the tasks best fit the people who complete them. The following are the primary safety issues and how an organization can best prevent them:...Troubled diva Amy Winehouse dead at 27
Few artists summed up their own career in a single song -- a single line -- as well as Amy Winehouse. "They tried to make me go to rehab," she sang on her world-conquering 2006 single, "Rehab." "I said 'No, no no.'" Occasionally, she said yes, but to no avail: repeated stints in hospitals and clinics couldn't stop alcohol and drugs scuttling the career of a singer whose distinctive voice, rich mix of influences and heart-on-her sleeve sensibility seemed to promise great things....Workers exposed to radiation in federal building in Boston
BOSTON — Two federal workers were exposed to some type of radiation in the basement of the Tip O'Neill Building at 10 Causeway St. Tuesday afternoon, according to Boston fire officials. The exposure triggered a Level 3 Hazmat response. It is not immediately clear what exactly caused the workers' contamination alert badges to go off. The workers cannot be decontaminated until it is determined what they were exposed to, according to fire officials....US Airways Pilots Question Safety Culture
(TheStreet) -- US Airways pilots are calling for the dismissal of the carrier's chief safety officer, saying the safety culture has deteriorated markedly since a 2005 merger. The airline, however, said that Paul Morell, vice president of safety and regulatory compliance, is staying and the charges are baseless, motivated by ongoing contract talks with the U.S. Airline Pilots Association. "It's unfortunate that our pilots' union is using safety as a negotiating tactic," said airline spokeswoman Michelle Mohr. "It's a real disservice to the 32,000 employees of US Airways."...Just How Dangerous Is Sitting All Day?
Sitting down, which most of us do for at least eight hours each day, might be the worst thing we do for our health all day. We’ve been preaching the benefits of stand-up desks for a while around here — and no one needs this good news more than social media-obsessed web geeks. A recent medical journal study showed that people who sit for most of their day are 54% more likely to die of a heart attack. ...Lack of Safety Precautions, Oversight Costing Workers Lives
Courtesy of MassCosh - NEW REPORT: BOSTON, MA 4/27/11 – September 14, 2010 would be Gregory Vilidnitsky’s last day on the job. That evening, a red pickup truck struck the civil engineer as he inspected a roadway repaving project on Rt. 9 in Framingham, killing him almost instantly. The truck was traveling at such a high rate of speed that the impact knocked Vilidnitsky out of his work boots – a grisly discovery when he was found a short time later by his co-workers. He would have turned 58 the next day....- Why Do Workers Ignore Safety Rules?
