There are various seniority levels when working in construction, and each plays an integral role in job success and completion. Higher-ranking people in a company are almost always in charge of job and worker safety and satisfaction, and it’s paramount for them to help lower-ranking employees navigate job demands. Here, we discuss how you can help maintain worker comfortability in a construction job to ensure you achieve these goals.
Provide Accommodating Personal Hygiene Spaces
Construction workers perform job demands regardless of weather conditions, including uncomfortable and troubling elements. Providing the job site with adequate and accommodating personal hygiene spaces can significantly impact workers’ ability to relieve themselves in peace.
Porta potties only offer toilet space and often don’t include basic handwashing or additional space. Consider renting luxury portable restroom trailers to provide more relaxing, accommodating outdoor facilities, especially if the job may take a week or longer.
Consider Investing in Suitable Laundry Facilities
When workers are driving from all over, leaving behind families and modern amenities, you can provide ample comfort by getting portable laundry facilities. After finishing a day at the job site, workers will appreciate the ability to wash belongings and wear clean clothes. Often, workers pack light to save space and move easily, so washing the clothing they take may be necessary every day or every other day for them.
Ensure All Workers Have Adequate Gear
Wearing protective gear is a vital aspect of a construction worker’s overall safety and comfort. This equipment ensures injury prevention, efficiency, and worker satisfaction.
Regardless of job title and description, all workers need to have the necessary gear and equipment to complete the job demands safely and on time. Consider things like eye protection, high visibility garments, appropriate headgear, and proper footwear.
Invest in Worker Training
Without adequate training, workers are at risk of experiencing severe injury and poor production rates. The consequences of these factors can cost construction companies thousands of dollars and the possibility of liability.
Every worker who attends a job site should have general education and field training in addition to job-specific training. You can also include education around protective gear and points of contact to cover all bases and ensure each worker can help themselves and maintain their comfort.
Maintain Healthy Lines of Communication
A significant element of worker comfortability is openly expressing job concerns, fears, or personal frustrations. This is critical regardless of the industry, but these efforts tend to get lost in construction zones and workers. Opening and maintaining healthy lines of communication across seniority levels and remaining transparent about company objectives can create a culture worth investing in and help workers establish a sense of security in their role.
Understandably, helping construction workers maintain comfortability can be challenging. There are many moving parts for each job. But with these valuable suggestions, you can improve overall satisfaction and production.
Prison support is central to what United Nations peace operations can offer to societies emerging from violent conflict. Well-functioning, safe, secure and humane prisons enable justice to be served fairly and equally. Equipped with justice and corrections expertise, and with support from the Justice and Corrections Service (JCS), peacekeeping missions assist host countries to deliver essential justice and prison services, strengthen criminal justice systems, and facilitate rule of law reforms.

SECRETARY-GENERAL
On Monday at 10 a.m. in the General Assembly Hall, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, will present his priorities for the year to the General Assembly. The remarks will be live on webtv and today, at 2 p.m. there will be a background briefing on the remarks in the briefing room.
DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL/TRAVELS
The Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, concluded her trip to Rome and to Vatican City. Today she met with the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation who is also the Deputy Prime Minister, Antonio Tajani. In the meeting, it was announced that Italy would host the UN Food Systems Stocktaking Moment, which will take place in Rome from 24 to 26 July. The aim of the high-level meeting is to provide opportunities for countries to report on progress made at the national level since the UN Food Systems Summit in 2021, as well as their contributions to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda.
Ms. Mohammed also met today with the Undersecretaries for Multilateral Affairs of the Holy See with whom she discussed the importance of multilateralism and the need for the UN to remain the global townhall for our global village.
They expressed that the UN must continue to give voice to all.
The Deputy Secretary-General also met with the leaders of the UN Rome-based Agencies, and those are the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
UKRAINE
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) say that yesterday, an inter-agency convoy of five trucks delivered medications, materials for emergency shelter repairs, tool kits, hygiene items and solar lamps to the Zaporizhzhia region in the south-east of the country. The supplies are intended for people in the Huliaipole community, where around 3,000 people remain close to the front line. They are exposed to regular shelling, and their access to basic services is obviously very much disrupted.
Since March of last year, the residents have had no electricity as power stations were damaged by fighting and cannot be repaired due to the ongoing hostilities. Because there is no power, water facilities cannot operate, and water has to be delivered in bottles or pumped from wells. Tools for emergency repairs are urgently needed for the damaged homes in the harsh winter.
The supplies are being provided by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the World Health Organization (WHO). With support from local community representatives and volunteers, it’s distributed directly to the people in need.
This is the second convoy this week to reach communities in acute need on the frontlines after a first convoy reached Donetsk region on the 31st of last month.
FOOD PRICE INDEX
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) today released its monthly Food Price Index for January and said that world food commodity prices declined in January for the tenth consecutive month. The FAO Food Price Index averaged 131.2 points in January, that’s 0.8 percent lower than the previous month, that’s December of 2022.
The FAO says that low domestic prices could result in a small cutback in wheat plantings in the Russian Federation, the world’s largest exporter, while severe war-induced impacts in Ukraine are estimated to reduce winter wheat area plantings by about 40 percent.

United Nations Video: Iraq, Ethiopia, Mali & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (2 February 2023)
Noon briefing by Florencia Soto Niño, Associate Spokesperson for the Secretary-General.
Highlights:
- Iraq
- Ethiopia
- Mali
- Deputy-Secretary-General/Rome
- Syria
- World Wetlands Day
IRAQ
This morning, the Special Representative for the Secretary-General to Iraq, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, briefed the Security Council on the situation in the country. She underlined the importance that political parties and other actors prioritize the country’s interest above all, stressing that at the end of the day, it remains a joint responsibility.
The Special Representative also conveyed to the Security Council a sense of hope that the confirmation of Iraq’s new government will provide an opportunity to structurally address the many pressing issues facing the country and its people, and a sense of urgency for Iraq’s political class to seize the brief window of opportunity, and to finally lift the country out of recurring cycles of instability and fragility.
ETHIOPIA
In Ethiopia, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) notes that access in the north continues to improve, and the UN has expanded its operations in Afar, Amhara, and Tigray regions, but some pockets remain hard to reach. Since the Cessation of Hostilities agreement in mid-November, more than 127,000 tons of food have been brought into Tigray, reaching more than 3.8 million people.
Meanwhile, OCHA notes that fighting in parts of southern Amhara and neighbouring areas of Oromia region have led to significant displacement in Amhara’s North Shewa, South Wello and West Gojam zones. Humanitarian partners are mobilizing food, shelter and other relief to people in need.
In the southern and eastern parts of Ethiopia, the historic drought that has gripped the wider Horn of Africa continues. The UN and its partners aim to reach 17 million people with food, water, health and agriculture support, among other assistance.
OCHA also notes that the cholera outbreak in parts of Oromia and Somali regions has seen more than 1,000 cases reported to date. Close to one million people are considered at high risk. An oral cholera vaccination campaign has been launched, and 33 per cent of the people they intend to assist have been reached so far.
Given the scale of the needs, additional funding is critical. Financial requirements for this year are being finalized and expected to remain high.
Last year, the Ethiopia humanitarian appeal received less than half the $3.3 billion that were required.
MALI
The UN and its humanitarian partners today launched an appeal for $751 million to meet the urgent needs of 5.7 million people in Mali, over half of whom are women and children. The launch was hosted by the Government of Mali and co-chaired by the UN Humanitarian Coordinator, Alain Noudehou.
The appeal aims to mobilize the necessary funding for the Humanitarian Response Plan 2023 for the country. Mali faces a multidimensional crisis fueled by insecurity, conflict, climate change and lack of access to basic social services.
As of December, over 400,000 people, mainly children and women, have been displaced due to increasing insecurity in the regions of Bandiagara, Mopti, Gao, Timbuktu, Ségou and Menaka.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the humanitarian needs have increased by 17 per cent compared to last year.

United Nations Video: Peace Begins With Me: 75 years of UN Peacekeeping | United Nations
For 75 years, UN peacekeeping has made a tangible difference in the lives of millions of people caught up in catastrophic conflict. Peacekeepers are ordinary people, working in dangerous and strenuous conditions to achieve extraordinary outcomes. They help prevent conflict, protect civilians, advance political solutions, and support democratic processes. Despite the challenges, peacekeepers persevere, alongside many partners, in the collective pursuit of peace. UN Peacekeeping’s Peace Begin With Me campaign thanks peacekeepers, past and present, for their service and sacrifice, and showcases the impact of peacekeepers and peace-makers who strive against all odds to build lasting peace. Their stories inspire us all to take action in the knowledge that “peace begins with me”.

AFGHANISTAN
This morning, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths, briefed Member States on the humanitarian situation in the country – and on his recent visit to the country - as part of an Inter-Agency Standing Committee mission. Mr. Griffiths said that they told the de facto authorities that a December 24th edict barring women from working for national and international NGOs is doing no favours for the people of Afghanistan.
Women are an essential, central component of the humanitarian operation in Afghanistan, he stressed, noting that if the ban is not revoked, more exceptions are needed to allow female aid workers to resume their activities. He noted that we have received exceptions in the health and education sectors which have enabled activities to restart.
Mr. Griffiths also underscored that humanitarian agencies will continue to work and be present in Afghanistan unless there is a blanket opposition to women working. The humanitarian community does not go on strike but seeks ways to work in a principled manner.
This year's Humanitarian Response Plan for Afghanistan is seeking $4.6 billion to help 28 million people in need, with some 6 million people close to famine.
UKRAINE
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) say that the fierce fighting in Ukraine continues in the eastern Donetsk region, with civilians being killed and injured on both sides of the front line. Over the last 24 hours, the front-line city of Bakhmut reportedly came under intensive shelling again. Children were among those killed and injured.
Thousands of people who remain in the city experience constant shelling, forcing them to spend hours in shelters, while access to basic services, including health care, is extremely limited. Civilians were also reportedly killed and injured in the areas of the Donetsk region under the temporary military control of the Russian Federation.
And civilians have also been killed, and key civilian infrastructure, including dozens of homes, have been reportedly damaged in the east, north and south of Ukraine over the past 24 hours.
The United Nations continues to support the most affected communities near the front line. Yesterday, a humanitarian inter-agency convoy delivered food, water, medicine, emergency shelter materials, hygiene items, a generator and other supplies for winter to the town of Toretsk, which is some 10 kilometres from the front line in the Donetsk region. The convoy also delivered trauma and emergency surgery kit supplies.
Approximately 15,000 people of the 75,000 residents who lived there before the war started are still in that town and nearby communities. They depend on humanitarian assistance.
The supplies were provided by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Instead of launching vertical rockets from the site, Spaceport Cornwall uses converted aircraft to carry rockets up to 35,000ft before detaching and launching them into space.
After a successful take off, the company’s maiden mission failed in January 2023 after the rocket experienced an anomaly.
Two more conventional vertical rocket launch facilities are being built in Scotland, meaning the UK space race is now on.

As part of this festive tradition, people gather up old clothes that have been lying around the house –tablecloths and oversized shirts are a favourite – and assemble a “mummer’s rig” or costume.
Originally, mummering was a house-visiting tradition. It first appeared in Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1800’s, though the practice dates back much further than that. Mummers would visit their neighbours in disguise, looking for beer and a bite to eat.
Alyssa Julie has more on the history of mummering - and the dark parts of its past.

Global Video: Breast cancer survivors say issues like early menopause, loss of identity often overlooked
Just days ahead of her 40th birthday, Hilary Boswell received a terrifying diagnosis – She had breast cancer.
She received a unilateral mastectomy, a surgery she didn’t necessarily want but felt pressured into by her surgeon. It left her with one breast and, she says, it changed the way she saw herself.
“I remember struggling so much with the idea of walking around with one boob,” she said. “I just really felt like I knew what I wanted… and yeah, I wish I had done it, “ she added, referring to a double mastectomy.
Like Boswell, other cancer survivors sometimes struggle to accept the changes brought on by surgery or chemotherapy – such as early menopause, or loss of libido. And they don’t always get the support they need.
As Alyssa Julie reports in our series Against all Odds, some survivors and experts are asking health professionals to shed more light on the impact of a cancer diagnosis on the body and the mind.

Global Video: Outside the margins: BIPOC and LGBTQ2 breast cancer patients rewrite the narrative
People from racialized and 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities are underrepresented in the institution of cancer care, and they’re slipping through the cracks because of it.
“I really felt like my issues didn’t matter. And I didn’t feel confident in making a decision about a life-changing surgery because I didn’t see myself represented,” said Michelle Audoin, the founder of Uncovered: A Breast Recognition Project. “The fact that I didn’t see myself in this space and my questions weren’t being addressed, it led to depression.”
For breast cancer, a reproductive cancer, the disparity can be especially apparent for the latter group. One thing is clear: it’s time to rewrite the narrative of what a typical cancer survivor looks like.
To do so, members of the community across Canada are fighting against these gaps, from diversifying what breast cancer looks like to writing a graphic memoir.

Global Video: "It's part of everybody's history": CNE's post-pandemic return revives multi-generational traditions
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is back in Toronto after a two-year pandemic hiatus, and with its return, small businesses that struggled with the closure are back.
With revenue going from 100 to 0 when the Exhibition closed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, being back at the CNE this year is extra-special for patrons and especially the small family businesses passed down from generation to generation.
“As much as this is a generational business for me and a family business, it’s also something that is an experience that generations have gone to the CNE and enjoyed,” said Sam Scanga, owner of several food booths at the CNE he runs with his family, referring to attendees’ love of his Primo Spaghetti 1.99. "It's part of everybody's history."
Global's Alexia Kapralos and Katherine Cheng have some of their stories.
