Bob’s family owns a gunpowder company. While purchasing a competitor, they became aware that although the plant met current safety standards, the employees were at more risk than Bob’s family was comfortable.
Although it wasn’t required, they invested the necessary money to retool the plant to minimize any risk of death from a gunpowder explosion. The safety of their team mattered greatly to Bob’s family.
Deuteronomy 5:17 commands, “You shall not murder.”
This command, on the surface, may seem irrelevant to your business. But, the Hebrew word for “murder” includes doing nothing that causes death from carelessness or negligence.
It’s our responsibility to provide a safe workplace. That may be as dramatic as retooling a gunpowder plant or as simple as providing face masks to avoid a virus.
