Occupational Safety & Health

Published on

Workers (People), many individuals in St.Kitts-Nevis have a casual (without planning attitude) approach towards the St.Kitts-Nevis Trades & Labour Union. However, in my view, when the relationship becomes strained (of an action, expression) for whatever the reason(s) may be, they just give and walk out.

You know as well as I that there are ongoing challenges as it relates to searching for a way to settle national and internal disputes. As I learn of knowledge and wisdom, I write under the inspiration (to stimulate) your mind and feeling about Occupational Safety and Health.

Hello! This is a fact. In keeping informed of the concerns and advice of many healthcare professionals, this union works to protect you the workers from becoming infected. However, the reality is some of us live in not so good environments.  Hence, we need is to put real effort to develop and guard ourselves.

This Union is keenly aware of the pressures you the workers receive at the workplaces in regard to the above topic. You must know where your true affection lies; this is a very serious matter. Let me now add some more things before I shut up.

There are so many questions about health. Now, if you do not insist upon living healthy and safe, you allow yourself to be exposed to diseases for a very long period. It was said that diseases were all under control; this is not now the case to some extent, and so such moments can become the sorrow of a lifetime. I am still impressing (to make strong, lasting) to safeguard your health and safety.

Now hear this: The truth must be told about this one-Preserve (Protect your teeth). If you brush your teeth after every meal, it has been said that you would not suffer tooth decay. Such caring action or chewing gum after each meal goes far towards defending you from oral diseases and bad breath, so once again preserve them, ok?

*Note well * I love this. Think about this: If you blindly accept “facts and or truths” just because I say so which do not seem true or even false, the end result in your mind can be unsatisfied thus leading you in an alley of incompetence (uselessness) on the subject. Therefore, let me tell you now: Be competent (having sufficient skill or knowledge)-Be a good safety officer; the ingredients (mixture) include observation, study and practice.

Until next week.
