The Minnesota Plumbing Code contains information about approved materials, safe installation methods and basic plumbing principles. It is important to hire knowledgeable, qualified plumbers and plumbing contractors to make the proper decisions regarding the best materials and methods for plumbing installation. It regulates the design and installation of plumbing systems statewide for all buildings including new, addition, alteration, repair and replacement. 
The 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.

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.
