DirectionsThe Nursing Home Workforce Standards Board, which was created in law during the 2023 legislative session to set minimum standards necessary to protect the health and welfare of nursing home workers, will conduct its first meeting at 2 p.m., Sept. 14, at the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI).
The board will be led by an executive director and will have equal representation between workers and employers to level standards, improve working conditions and better serve the vulnerable Minnesotans being cared for in these facilities.
Six organizations across Minnesota will receive funding to facilitate the participation and retention of people of color, Indigenous people and women in registered apprenticeship through the Labor Education Advancement Program (LEAP) grant.
Everyday, our agency's boiler inspectors are charged with making sure that if any of the nearly 80,000 boilers and pressure vessels scattered across Minnesota are deemed unsafe, that the units are repaired or removed from service.
Because of its deteriorated and dangerous condition, a low pressure steam boiler in an apartment building was recently removed from service (red tagged) by state inspectors until repairs were made.
Categories: boilers, unsafe, boiler inspectors, red tag, licensed individual.
The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) participated with the National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies (NASCLA) in a national coordinated enforcement effort the weeks of June 7 through 25, which included eight NASCLA state members that took part in this event across the country.
Due to a new appropriation during the 2023 Legislative Session, five additional partnerships across Minnesota will receive funding to develop and expand programs to offer meaningful career exposure and paid work experience for students 16 years of age and older.
Seven organizations will be awarded grants as part of Minnesota's new earned sick and safe time law, which goes into effect Jan. 1 and requires employers to provide paid leave to employees who work in the state.
The grants will be used to promote education, outreach, communication, engagement and training to build worker and employer understanding about Minnesota laws relating to earned sick and safe time.
