The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) announces a new resource designed to measure workers’ well-being. The Worker Well-Being Questionnaire (WellBQ) is a free survey to help researches, employers, workers and many more to understand well-being and potentially create interventions.
“Worker well-being is a unifying concept that characterizes quality of life with respect to a person’s working conditions, circumstances outside of work, and physical and mental health status,” said NIOSH Director John Howard, M.D. “NIOSH is excited to offer this new tool that anyone can use to evaluate worker well-being in order to help identify opportunities to advance worker well-being through workplace policies, programs, and practices.”

( Dealing in transportation, you have to be calm to be a great driver, she says.) Then, she heads to the yard to hitch up Sparkle, her 2019 Freightliner Cascadia. Sparkle s a big girl: With a full load, the truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds.]
In the back of the spacious cab, Rankin has set up what she calls her mommy getaway apartment: a twin bed, a stash of food, some decor, cleaning supplies, and a few wig stands. She occasionally likes to switch up her style on long hauls maybe long and wavy one day, and bright green or deep, curly red the next.
