Hundreds of workers, primarily in construction, die every year from falls at work, often because employers are not providing adequate safety protections and training. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…

This #EarthDay we are supporting #NYCPublicSolarPower legislation (Int. No. 353) before the NYC Council.
