Occupational Safety And Health

Published on

By: Joseph Jones.

Workers! Love Listens! Psalms 119 VS 149 pleaded by saying, ‘hear my voice according to your loving kindness; it expressed the truth that the God who loves us also listen to us.

Listening is a part of loving. Listening to a wife, husband, a fellow worker or a friend may be just what you need to be encouraged or to see more clearly at the work place.

Let me make this emphatically clear: words have the potential to produce positive or negative consequences. They have the power to give life through encouragement. Workers I hereby urge you to continue to support the St. Kitts-Nevis Trades & Labour Union where your burden will get much lighter in regards to Occupational Safety And Health (OSH) because I have a fresh hope for tomorrow.

As I struggled to get this topic or points across one of my colleagues said “Let me tell it.” Now up to today people are asking how healing continues.

Now within a couple of days, our body starts generating repair materials, a process that marks the beginning that reaches a peak about two weeks, then the cells that form fibbers across the wound migrate to the injured area and multiply.

Also, tiny blood vessels sprout and grow towards the injured area, where they remove waste and supply extra nutrients during demolition and repair.

Hello, in another event, special cells are generated that draw the edges of the wound together. Workers again, at the final stage, remodeling can take months. For example, broken bones are restored to original strength, and the fibbers that were initially laid across a soft tissue are replaced with stronger materials.

Altogether, listen to this:wounds repair is an amazing example of highly programmed coordination.

Before I close, I wish to point out that a very good friend of mine got into a terrible accident; he was in a critical condition with a large tear and internal bleeding. Years ago we would have operated to remove the damages, but today, the doctors rely more on body’s power to repair it.

When I see how the body repairs itself, and as I said before in my last article, I am left in awe; I am convinced that we were designed by God.

*Note Well* Our health under siege. Science can take us only so far when comes to good health. High blood pressure, obesity, air pollution and drug abuse all risk factors,and many of us are aware that diseases are increasing.

More people are dying from an array of non-communicable disease such as cancer, cardio vascular disorder and diabetes.

Workers be“Aware” and continue to read until next week.This is educational.

Words                   Meaning

Nutrient:           Any substance that nourishes.

Demolition:       Act of demolishing, ruin, destruction.

Coordination:     To arrange in due order.

Thank you.
