10 Ways to Stay Safe Online

What is OSHA 10?

OSHA 10 is part of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s plan to provide and maintain a safer work environment. It is a 10 hour training course and certification process for construction and general industries. Some states require that all employees must have a minimum of 10 hours of safety training in order to work on a public construction site.

What States Require OSHA 10 Training?

OSHA Training is required by law in the States of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, and Rhode Island. It is illegal to work on a public construction site without being OSHA 10 hour certified.

Who Should Get Certified?

Anybody living in the States listed above should get certified if they plan on working in the construction field. Also, some states require at least one member of each trade to take either the OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 hour course. Some businesses might require their workers to take the 10 hour course to keep their employees safe and to avoid OSHA’s hefty non-compliance penalties. There is no pre-requisite for the training courses, so anybody who wants to raise awareness of work related hazards and injury prevention is encouraged to take the course.

Where Can I Get Certified?

At the moment, there are two ways of getting certified, online and onsite. Online certification is great for small businesses and individuals because it allows the individual to work at their own pace in their own space. However larger businesses might like the quick and cost effective onsite fleet training option. Onsite training allows for a single instructor to train an entire workforce or a large group of individuals in a single or double sitting.

Dear Friend,

Matthew 15:18 says, “Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.”

Therefore, I believe if someone has a problem with those who proclaim to be God’s anointed, they need to go to THOSE whom they believe have a spiritual problem and talk to THEM, email THEM, whatever. Wrong doing should never be covered over. It must be brought to the attention of those who are responsible, and dealt with in a scriptural manner.

I don’t believe it is proper to slander anyone which is… someone who seeks to destroy another’s credibility or reputation with damaging facts, distortions of facts, or evil suspicions. (See Numbers 14:36)

And then there is the…busybody! Who by the way is someone who digs up evil reports and makes it his/her business to spread them by means of gossip, slander, or whispering. Such an action is a great a sin as murder or stealing. It is classified with these by God when He warns: “Let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.” (I Peter 4:15)

Yes, it is a catastophe to see the enemy at work, but most importantly, is putting a mirror in front of our ‘own’ faces and making sure we…are in right standing with God, and striving for righteousness and holiness. Being about our Father’s business.

God knows exactly what is going on and He will not be mocked. He is a big enough God to chastise those who are in disobedience.

Why aren’t we “praying” for them instead of “talking” about them?

I’m sure if you and I as Christian’s…followers of Jesus Christ, ministers to the glory of God were to open our spiritual closests, they too would be filled with “nasty” things we wouldn’t want made public. But God can still USE these people for His honor and glory. What better testimony than the one who has …”gone through.” Pray for each other whom minister to small audiences …AND those whom minister to the larger audience.

We ALL have a date to stand before the throne room of God. Are we without spot or wrinkle?
