Just so, why do I feel like I'm in danger?
If you're in a state of hypervigilance, you're extremely sensitive to your surroundings. It can make you feel like you're alert to any hidden dangers, whether from other people or the environment. Hypervigilance can be a symptom of mental health conditions, including: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
What is imminent danger?
The threat must be immediate or imminent. This means that you must believe that death or serious physical harm could occur within a short time, for example before OSHA could investigate the problem. OSHA has the right to ask a federal court to order the employer to eliminate the imminent danger.
