Baltimore's Department of Public Works (DPW) has begun making repairs aimed at addressing dangerous conditions within its facilities. According to a recent Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report, employees have been dealing with harsh environmental factors such as extremely high temperatures and inadequate ventilation. Additionally, some workers reported broken showers in their work areas. The OIG's findings come amid other news stories, including the sentencing of the father of a school shooter to 15 years in prison. However, these unrelated events do not appear to have influenced the DPW's decision to address unsafe conditions within its own facilities.
