Haz Com training today.
It’s always interesting working
for a manufacturer. It keeps me aware of
the world in ways I would be oblivious to otherwise. Back in 2011 my blog post “Interdependency”
talked about world vulnerabilities and the very real opportunities. Today, as the Global Harmonized System
(GHS) was unveiled - I was struck once again by how very fast all of this is unfolding!
Requirements
were revised by Cal OSHA to align with the United Nations’ classification and
labelling of chemicals and mandatory compliance is required by December 1, 2015. This is only one
of many “world standardizations” that are even now coming into effect. Again, I was struck by how interdependent and
“small” our world truly is!
Many who do not work in this may not realize what is
taking place.
On my way home tonight, for
BOLD emphasis, I saw a truck on the road carrying gas cylinders and it
had the new pictoral images already displayed on the front bumper.
As I noted in 2011, many have a tendency to look at this in only a negative way. I am seeing amazing opportunities all over this and, I am not alone. The reality is that our world is becoming more interactive and interdependent than ever before! We now have contact with even small communities in the world in ways never before realized. With Christ in us, the possibilities are limitless! It is a small small world, indeed.
