Yet, unlike some independent clinics that had to close, #PlannedParenthood's national federation brings in hundreds of millions of dollars a year, the majority of which is spent on #policy & #legal efforts rather than state-level #medical services.
The org & some of its state affiliates have also battled allegations of mismanagement, & complaints about staffing & patient care. PPMI staffers in 5 clinics #unionized last year, w/some citing problems in mgmt, #workplace & #care conditions.

Compendium: SIFs, Major Hazards, Fatal & Traumatic hazards, risks
This is an expansion to my prior compendium on Critical Controls, Barriers and Energy thinking. Suggest you read that in conjunction to this, link here:
Barriers, Critical Controls, Verifications, Energy Models
If you’re after indicators check this mini-compendium out:
Safety & Risk Performance indicators (lead, lag, drive, process safety + more)
This compendium focuses on articles discussing SIFs, fatal & traumatic hazards, risks and similar concepts. Focus is on acute traumatic injury – occupational health/chronic exposures will be covered in the future.
I’ve focused on full-text articles – so there’s heaps of relevant articles not included here because I couldn’t source a link. Abstracts are towards the end.
I’ve largely omitted major hazards and process safety, as there’s too much ground to cover in a single article. I’ve also not included much traffic/transport, aviation and some other select industries.
NB. A special call-out to NIOSH – who has been supporting research on fatal and traumatic workplace injuries for decades. You’ll find several studies supported by them here.
Feel free to shout a coffee if you’d like to support the growth of my site:

#RepublicOfGeorgia: New legislation directly threatens people's right to #protest and #FreeExpression
In a troubling shift toward #authoritarian governance, Georgia’s ruling party has enacted legislative reforms that drastically restrict freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, and proposed changes to restrict #media, public participation.
February 10, 2025
"The key changes obstructing people’s right to protest include:
- Expanded organisers' liability;
- Restrictions on spontaneous protests;
- Limitations on protests in enclosed spaces: Protests in closed spaces or buildings now require written consent from the property owner, significantly restricting #student and #workplace #demonstrations. This provision appears to be a direct response to recent protests on #UniversityCampuses;
- Expanded penalties for protest-related offenses: Petty #hooliganism fines have risen from GEL 500-1,000 to GEL 500-2,000 (from maximum approximately 350-700 EUR) , with imprisonment now up to 20 days instead of 15. Verbal insults towards #PoliceOfficers now carry fines of GEL 2,000 5,000 (approx. 700-1750 EUR) or up to 60 days’ imprisonment. Repeat offenses can result in a GEL 3,500-6,000 ( 1200–2100 EUR) fine and extended jail terms. Additionally, individuals accused of "disrupting public order" face severe criminal penalties, including up to 3 years in prison;
- New restrictions on symbolic protest actions: Covering one's face, possessing a laser or light-emitting device, or wearing clothing resembling police or military uniforms during assemblies are now punishable by fines of GEL 2,000 ( 700 EUR) or imprisonment up to 7 days. Such measures are expected to disproportionately impact younger protesters and student-led movements;
- #Broadened law enforcement powers: The Ministry of Internal Affairs now holds increased authority over protest regulation, including the power to block protests that allegedly threaten public order or constitutional stability. Authorities can now use '#EmergencyMeasures' to disperse gatherings, including mass #arrests and prolonged #detentions;
- Increased state control over protest logistics: Protesters are now required to ensure that demonstrations do not obstruct transportation routes. Organisers must take action within 15 minutes of a warning to remove roadblocks or temporary structures, failing which they will face criminal liability;
- Participation in protests previously dispersed by law enforcement is now classified as an offense, subjecting #demonstrators to legal consequences.
"Given that the median salary in Georgia in 2023 was GEL 1,238 (approximately 400 EUR), these fines represent a disproportionate financial burden on protesters, effectively discouraging civic engagement and public demonstrations."

Today's reminder of the insider threat involves a pharmacist in Maryland who over a period of 8 years or more, used keyloggers and installed spyware on about 400 computers at the University of Maryland Medical System so he could spy on female co-workers in private moments at work (such as changing clothes, breastfeeding their babies), and in their homes. He was reportedly fired in October 2024, and was able to get another job in another healthcare facility in Maryland because there has been no criminal charges filed against him yet and UMMS apparently didn't alert his new employer.
If Maryland law is like my state's laws, the hospital may be barred legally from revealing what happened if asked for a recommendation by the new employer. And it seems the Maryland state pharmacy board can't just suspend a license unless there's been a conviction, so the failure to have criminal charges filed already seems to have put more potential victims at risk.
Unsurprisingly, a potential class action lawsuit has already been filed against UMMS with six plaintiffs so far. There are estimates that there are more than 80 victims of the now-former employee.
Some of the media coverage on the case: https://thedailyrecord.com/2025/04/04/six-women-sue-umms-claiming-staffer-spied-on-them-after-security-breach/
