Hazard Communication

Today's post will discuss the Employee's Right To Know regarding hazardous chemicals found in the workplace.

This is a quote from OSHA 1910.1200(a)(2) on regulations concerning hazard communication for chemicals. "This occupational safety and health standard is intended to address comprehensively the issue of classifying the potential hazards of chemicals, and communicating information concerning hazards and appropriate protective measures to employees, and to preempt any legislative or regulatory enactments of a state, or political subdivision of a state, pertaining to this subject. Classifying the potential hazards of chemicals and communicating information concerning hazards and appropriate protective measures to employees, may include, for example, but is not limited to, provisions for: developing and maintaining a written hazard communication program for the workplace, including lists of hazardous chemicals present; labeling of containers of chemicals in the workplace, as well as of containers of chemicals being shipped to other workplaces; preparation and distribution of safety data sheets to employees and downstream employers; and development and implementation of employee training programs regarding hazards of chemicals and protective measures. Under section 18 of the Act, no state or political subdivision of a state may adopt or enforce any requirement relating to the issue addressed by this Federal standard, except pursuant to a Federally-approved state plan."


You have the right to know what dangers lurk in chemicals found on your job site. You also have the right to know about spiritual dangers in your life. Just like chemicals you encounter at work, you can encounter spirits in your daily routine. Some of the evil influences in the world are not as noticeable as others. Be careful, some may seem innocent but are not. A few examples that are common and easily recognized are palm reading, fortune tellers, horoscopes, and Ouija boards that expose you to evil spirits. They are like rotting meats emitting a foul odor in the physical realm that draws flies and scavengers. In the spiritual realm there is also a drawing of evil spirits and foul doctrines. If your pastor warns you of something, take heed, he may know of dangers you do not. I think some people agree most of these things should be avoided, but what about others that seem ok? The Bible says to test it...1 John 4:1 KJV Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

There are many false doctrines, deceiving spirits and false prophets out there, be on guard and alert to their devices that try to draw you into their lair. These doctrines, spirits and false prophets are like hazardous chemicals and they can harm you. God wants you to know about them and be wise.
