1 Unit III Journal Bryan Holden Columbia Southern University OSH 2302- Introduction to Regulatory Compliance December 30, 2022
2 Initiatives like the one California is currently undertaking, in my opinion, will benefit the country and the state in the long run. These cautions are essential for assisting in lowering consumer usage of goods and items that might be detrimental to them. In a study conducted in California, the researcher discovered that warning labels had a favorable impact on customers' consumption patterns. Consumers who were cautioned against consuming sugary drinks in excess did so after hearing the cautions. The same studies discovered that warning labels on cigarettes helped to discourage people from smoking. In light of these findings, I thus think that these kinds of warnings are quite beneficial and effective, especially when you want to discourage people from purchasing a certain product (Kukla, 2010). These are the kinds of initiatives that I am confident will be fruitful. They help, in my opinion, to inform the public of the potential risks associated with the consumption of particular foods and substances (Dumanovsky et al., 2010). Given that I am aware of this, warning labels required by Proposition 65 have almost probably had an impact on me. When I first noticed it, it was both on the gas pumps and the items for sale in the stores. I am now a lot more aware of the things I put into my body and the things I submit myself to as a result. I think it's important for people to have as much knowledge as they can about these issues in order to be able to make the decisions that are best for them. I believe that without these kinds of programs, people would be less aware of the potential risks associated with particular products and substances. I think this would be a bad trend and should be avoided since people need information in order to make the best decisions for them. It is obvious, in my opinion, that projects of this nature are valuable and important (Kukla, 2010).
