    Haven Safety AI Applauds Congressional Focus on AI-Powered Workplace Safety in Landmark Hearing

    SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / February 23, 2026 / Haven Safety AI, the leading AI-native platform for proactive workplace safety in high-risk industries, today commended the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce, Subcommittee on Workforce Protections, for its February 11, 2026 hearing titled “Building an AI-Ready America: Safer Workplaces Through Smarter Technology.” The hearing underscored the transformative potential of artificial intelligence to shift occupational safety from reactive, incident-based approaches to predictive, data-driven prevention. This vision aligns closely with the core mission of Haven’s innovative safety intelligence platform.

    During the hearing, lawmakers and expert witnesses, including representatives from industry associations and technology leaders, highlighted how AI tools are already detecting hidden hazards, analyzing patterns to prevent incidents, and saving lives on an unprecedented scale. Testimony emphasized real-world applications such as in-vehicle cameras that identify unsafe behaviors like drowsy driving or tailgating, predictive analytics to forecast injury risks, and wearable technologies that alert workers to dangers like heat stress before they escalate.

    There was a focus on the need for balanced policy that fosters innovation without compromising safety. Witnesses reinforced that AI augments human oversight, prolongs careers in labor-intensive fields, and reduces barriers for small businesses when regulations remain flexible rather than patchwork.

    Haven Safety AI’s mission directly embodies these priorities. By synthesizing data from incidents, sensors, interviews, and operational sources, Haven uncovers systemic risks, predicts potential serious events, and delivers actionable intelligence to prevent injuries before they occur. This AI co-pilot approach moves EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) teams beyond documentation and compliance toward true prevention. It aligns closely with the hearing’s call for smarter, governed technology that prioritizes worker protection.

    “Congressional recognition of AI’s life-saving role in high-hazard workplaces is a pivotal moment for the safety industry,” said a Haven Safety AI spokesperson. “At Haven, we are proud to lead this evolution by empowering organizations to predict and stop root causes of incidents, reduce serious injuries, and build stronger safety cultures. This hearing validates what we have seen in practice: when AI is applied responsibly and with human oversight, it does not replace safety professionals. It supercharges them to protect lives more effectively than ever before.”

    Haven Safety AI continues to innovate at the intersection of AI and occupational safety. The company helps enterprises in construction, manufacturing, logistics, and other high-risk sectors achieve measurable reductions in incident rates through predictive insights and streamlined investigations.

  • TikTok’s #1 Selling Toothpaste Brand NOBS Launches in Target Stores Nationwide

    TikTok’s #1 Selling Toothpaste Brand NOBS Launches in Target Stores Nationwide

    Viral oral care brand with nearly 1 million TikTok Shop orders secures major retail partnership.

    NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 23, 2026 / NOBS, the dentist-formulated oral care brand co-founded by Dr. Ilon Choai, today announced its expansion into Target stores nationwide. The partnership marks a significant milestone for the digital-first brand, which has processed over 1 million orders through TikTok Shop alone and maintains its position as the platform’s #1 selling toothpaste brand.

    “Too many oral care products are built around legacy formulas rather than modern science,” said Dr. Ilon Choai, dentist and co-founder of NOBS. “We formulated NOBS to deliver proven enamel protection while giving families a cleaner, more thoughtful alternative.”

    The retail expansion comes as NOBS continues to reshape consumer expectations in oral care, offering scientifically-validated alternatives to traditional fluoride products. Target will carry the brand’s flagship NOBS hydroxyapatite toothpaste tablets which has achieved top rankings across digital marketplaces.

    From Social Commerce to Shelf Success

    The transition from TikTok sensation to Target shelves represents a natural evolution for NOBS, which has built its reputation through authentic consumer engagement and scientific credibility. The brand’s rapid ascent on TikTok Shop demonstrates the growing consumer demand for transparent, non-toxic oral care solutions.

    “Our journey from TikTok to Target reflects something much bigger than a business milestone, it’s validation that consumers are ready for a fundamental shift in how they approach oral health,” said Calvin Klaski, CEO and co-founder of NOBS. “We’ve listened to our community of nearly one million customers who have been asking where they can find NOBS locally. Target’s commitment to offering innovative, purpose-driven brands makes them the perfect partner to help us reach even more families seeking safer oral care options.”

    Meeting Consumer Demand at Scale

    The Target partnership addresses the overwhelming demand NOBS has experienced across digital channels. As the #1 selling toothpaste on TikTok Shop and a top-15 brand in Amazon’s competitive toothpaste category, NOBS has proven that consumers actively seek alternatives to conventional oral care products when presented with scientifically-backed options.

    The Power of Authentic Social Commerce

    NOBS’s meteoric rise on TikTok Shop showcases the transformative potential of social commerce when paired with genuine product innovation. The brand’s success stems from thousands of organic creator partnerships and user testimonials, with customers frequently sharing their “NOBS journey” through before-and-after content and unboxing videos. The authentic enthusiasm from real users has created a self-sustaining cycle of discovery and advocacy, proving that modern consumers value peer recommendations and transparent brand communication over traditional advertising. This social-first approach has not only driven sales but also educated millions about hydroxyapatite as an effective alternative to fluoride, fundamentally shifting the oral care conversation online.

    Sustainability Meets Accessibility

    The Target partnership also advances NOBS’s environmental mission by making plastic-free oral care more accessible to mainstream consumers. Each NOBS tablet eliminates the need for traditional plastic tubes, with the brand estimating it has already prevented over 500,000 plastic toothpaste tubes from entering landfills through its direct-to-consumer sales alone.

    “Bringing NOBS to Target means we can amplify our environmental impact exponentially,” added Klaski. “Every family that switches to our tablets is making a choice that benefits both their health and the planet. Target’s reach allows us to scale that positive impact in ways that purely digital channels cannot match.”

    Clinical Validation Drives Retail Confidence

    Central to NOBS’s retail expansion is the brand’s commitment to scientific validation. Unlike many emerging oral care brands that rely solely on ingredient trends, NOBS has invested in an independent peer-reviewed study that demonstrates its hydroxyapatite formula matches fluoride’s protective benefits without potential toxicity concerns.

    The brand’s formulation, containing 5% nano-hydroxyapatite, underwent rigorous testing in partnership with the Department of Comprehensive Dentistry at The University of Texas. Results showed NOBS tablets were equally effective as sodium fluoride toothpastes in preventing tooth demineralization.

    Strategic Timing for Market Disruption

    The retail expansion comes at a pivotal moment in the oral care industry, as consumers increasingly scrutinize ingredient lists and seek transparency from personal care brands. NOBS’s success on TikTok Shop has been driven largely by user-generated content featuring real customers sharing their experiences with the brand’s hydroxyapatite formula.

    This authentic advocacy has translated into impressive metrics: the brand’s TikTok presence has generated over 1 billion views for hydroxyapatite-related content, educating consumers about alternatives to fluoride while building trust through transparency.

    Future Growth Trajectory

    The Target partnership represents the first phase of NOBS’s broader retail strategy, with additional major retailer announcements expected in the future. The company projects that retail expansion will double its customer base within the first year while maintaining the direct-to-consumer relationships that have fueled its initial growth.

    “We’re not abandoning our digital roots,” Klaski emphasized. “Our TikTok Shop success taught us the power of community-driven growth. As we expand into Target and beyond, we’re committed to maintaining that direct connection with our customers while making our products available wherever they prefer to shop.”

    NOBS hydroxyapatite toothpaste tablets will be available in over 900 Target stores nationwide. The brand will continue to maintain its strong presence on TikTok Shop, Amazon, and its website at nobsroutines.com.

    About NOBS

    NOBS is a revolutionary oral care company dedicated to creating high-efficacy, non-toxic hygiene products that challenge industry norms. Best known for their scientifically-validated hydroxyapatite toothpaste tablets, the brand prioritizes sustainability, transparency, and scientific innovation. NOBS has quickly become one of the leading alternative oral care brands in North America. For more information, visit nobsroutines.com.

  • Navigating Tariffs and Uncertainty: How Canada’s Real Estate Leaders Are Staying the Course

    Navigating Tariffs and Uncertainty: How Canada’s Real Estate Leaders Are Staying the Course

    By Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi | President & CEO, Sky Property Group Inc.

    TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / February 23, 2026 / The first months of 2026 have brought a familiar kind of turbulence to Canadian real estate – the kind that shakes out the weak hands and rewards those who’ve been through it before. With U.S. tariffs reshaping cross-border trade, construction costs climbing, and interest rate uncertainty still lingering in the background, many investors are asking whether now is the time to pause.

    My answer is no. And I say that not from blind optimism, but from experience built across three decades in this market.

    Tariffs Are a Headache, Not a Dealbreaker

    Let’s be direct about what U.S. tariffs mean for Canadian real estate development. Steel, aluminum, and lumber – all critical inputs in high-rise construction – are subject to price pressure when trade policy tightens. For developers in the Greater Toronto Area, this translates to higher per-unit construction costs, strained timelines, and tighter conversations with general contractors.

    I’ve been navigating supply chain disruptions since I began acquiring properties during the recession of the early 1990s. Back then, the challenge was different – interest rates had crushed valuations, and most people were walking away from real estate entirely. I was buying. The lesson I took from that period has defined how I approach every economic headwind since: volatility creates opportunity for those with the patience and capital to hold a long-term view.

    Today’s tariff environment is disruptive. It is not, however, a fundamental shift in the underlying demand drivers that make the GTA one of the most resilient real estate markets in North America.

    Why the GTA Remains a Generational Opportunity

    Toronto and its surrounding municipalities continue to face a structural housing shortage that no tariff can erase. Immigration targets remain aggressive. Transit expansion – including Metrolinx’s regional rail buildout – is actively reshaping which corridors will anchor the next decade of density. Land along these corridors is finite, and the municipalities controlling it are increasingly aligned on intensification as policy.

    Sky Property Group Inc. has spent years assembling land in precisely these corridors. Our focus on future development potential has always been grounded in a simple thesis: the best time to position yourself in a growth corridor is before the market prices it in. By the time a transit station opens and zoning approvals become front-page news, the window for meaningful land acquisition has often closed.

    This is the work that doesn’t make headlines – patient, disciplined accumulation of strategically located land, held through economic cycles, and developed when the conditions are right.

    The Cost of Sitting on the Sidelines

    One of the most persistent misconceptions I encounter is the idea that uncertainty is a reason to wait. In real estate, waiting has a cost that rarely appears on a spreadsheet. When construction costs rise, so do replacement values – meaning the land you chose not to acquire at today’s price becomes harder to replace tomorrow.

    Canada’s housing shortage is not going to be solved quickly. The federal government has acknowledged it, municipalities have acknowledged it, and the development community is doing everything it can within a regulatory environment that remains slow and complex. Every year of underbuilding widens the gap between supply and demand. For long-term holders, that gap is the investment case.

    Building Through It

    At Sky Property Group Inc., we are not pausing. We are building through it – adapting our procurement strategies, working closely with our construction and finance partners, and continuing to advance our land assembly pipeline across the GTA.

    This means engaging early with general contractors to lock in pricing where possible, identifying domestic material suppliers to reduce tariff exposure, and maintaining the kind of financial discipline that allows us to move decisively when acquisition opportunities arise – as they always do when costs create hesitation in other buyers.

    It also means continuing to invest in the communities where we operate. Long-term development is not extractive – it is relational. The neighbourhoods we work in are the neighbourhoods that will benefit from the intensification we bring. That alignment of interest matters to me, and it shapes how Sky Property Group Inc. approaches every project.

    A Word on Resilience

    I started my career as a registered nurse before transitioning into real estate investment. That background shaped how I think about long-term outcomes, risk management, and the importance of staying focused when conditions are difficult. In healthcare, you don’t abandon a patient because the situation is complicated. You adapt, you stay present, and you keep moving toward the goal.

    Real estate development, at its best, requires that same orientation. The market will always present reasons to stop. Leadership means finding the reasons to continue – and building something that lasts.

    Looking Ahead

    The tariff situation will evolve. Trade relationships between Canada and the United States have weathered many cycles and will continue to do so. What will not change is Toronto’s fundamental need for more housing, more density, and more thoughtful land development.

    Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi and Sky Property Group Inc. remain committed to that work – through the uncertainty, through the headwinds, and toward the communities we are building for the long term.

  • Expo Contratista Launches “Latino Build Show” to Help Fight Construction’s Skilled Worker Shortage at Phoenix Convention Center

    Expo Contratista Launches “Latino Build Show” to Help Fight Construction’s Skilled Worker Shortage at Phoenix Convention Center

    Expo Contratista today announced the launch of the Latino Build Show

    PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / February 23, 2026 / Expo Contratista today announced the launch of the Latino Build Show, a new interactive experience at this year’s Expo Contratista on September 11 and 12 at the Phoenix Convention Center. The Latino Build Show will highlight live product installations by Latino trade professionals and provide valuable, hands-on learning for DIYers and contractors alike.

    The launch comes at a critical moment for the U.S. construction industry, which is grappling with a severe shortage of skilled labor. Retirement rates among construction workers are expected to climb sharply in the coming years, with some estimates suggesting up to 40 % of the current construction workforce could retire by 2030, worsening an already strained labor market.

    At the same time, the sector continues to struggle to recruit enough qualified workers to meet demand, with shortages estimated at hundreds of thousands of skilled roles nationwide. This widening gap not only threatens project timelines and costs, but also puts pressure on existing workers and limits the ability of firms to grow.

    “As the construction labor gap grows, we need fresh approaches to attract and retain talent,” said Sergio Terreros, spokesperson for Expo Contratista. “The Latino Build Show is our contribution to that effort – showcasing talented Latino tradespeople, elevating their work, and inspiring the next generation to pursue meaningful, high-skill careers in the trades.”

    Addressing the Skilled Worker Shortage Through Education and Exposure

    The Latino Build Show is designed to:

    • Provide live installation demonstrations from experienced Latino trade professionals

    • Offer practical, step-by-step guidance on tools, products, and techniques

    • Connect DIY homeowners and contractors with real-world skills and insight

    • Highlight the value of skilled trades careers to young workers and career changers

    • Give manufacturers and brands a platform to demonstrate products in action

    With the industry needing to accelerate recruitment and training of skilled workers, initiatives like the Latino Build Show play a critical role in raising visibility and creating pathways into the trades.

    “Expo Contratista is committed to supporting the long-term health of the construction workforce,” continued Terreros. “By providing live educational experiences and championing the contributions of Latino professionals, we’re helping to build a future where the industry can thrive.”

  • Bytek Joins the Google Cloud Ready – BigQuery Program

    Bytek Joins the Google Cloud Ready – BigQuery Program

    The Datrix Group martech company is among the organizations selected globally in the BI and Advanced Analytics category

    MILAN, IT / ACCESS Newswire / February 24, 2026 / Bytek, a Datrix martech company specializing in Predictive Intelligence and data activation, announces that it has joined the Google Cloud Ready – BigQuery program after meeting the requirements for the BI, ML, and Advanced Analytics category.

    This achievement, which follows Bytek joining Google Cloud Marketplace, is recognition that Bytek’s solutions can integrate natively and optimally with the BigQuery autonomous data to AI platform, in compliance with stringent technical standards and best practices defined by Google Cloud.

    The Google Cloud Ready – BigQuery designation is awarded at the end of a validation process conducted by Google Cloud teams, designed to help ensure high levels of performance, reliability, and interoperability in enterprise environments.

    At the core of this recognition is the Bytek Prediction Platform, designed to transform first-party data into predictive signals ready for activation.

    The platform operates directly on BigQuery, unifying and enriching data from heterogeneous sources – such as web and app analytics, CRM, media, and business systems – and applying AI and machine-learning models to generate predictive insights that support operational decision-making.

    The signals produced by the platform can be leveraged for advanced business intelligence, advanced analytics, and data-driven activation use cases, helping companies improve performance, relevance, and the overall impact of their initiatives.

    Bytek’s Google Cloud Ready – BigQuery designation offers immediate and tangible value for customers. They can benefit from:

    • Greater confidence in choosing a partner solution validated by Google Cloud;

    • Faster selection and adoption processes, thanks to a platform that is already tested and certified;

    • Less time spent evaluating tools, with more focus on building high-impact business solutions.

    This advantage is particularly relevant in complex environments, where speed, scalability, and data reliability are critical success factors for analytics and AI projects.

    The designation also recognizes Bytek’s distinctive technological approach, based on a warehouse-native, zero-copy model.

    The platform works directly within BigQuery, without duplicating or moving data across environments, enabling companies to unlock the value of their first-party data more efficiently, securely, and at scale, while reducing architectural complexity and implementation time.

    Joining the Google Cloud Ready – BigQuery program strengthens Bytek’s, and the Datrix Group’s, position within the Google Cloud ecosystem and opens up new collaboration opportunities, including joint communication and go-to-market initiatives, increased visibility as a certified partner, and ongoing dialogue with BigQuery product teams.

    “Joining the Google Cloud Ready – BigQuery program validates our vision of an AI that doesn’t move data, but enables it where it lives. Today, the challenge is no longer just to predict, but to orchestrate: by integrating traditional machine learning with new reasoning systems, we transform the data warehouse into an agentic environment designed for the performance and lifecycle marketing use cases we care most about. This warehouse-native approach allows companies to move from simple insights to truly intelligent agents capable of generating tangible impact, making predictive value-based bidding, monetization, and hyper-personalization concrete and scalable,” comments Paolo Dello Vicario, Co-Founder of Datrix and CEO of Bytek.
