We are nothing after our death. Let us donate our body organs for the poor.

Be not afraid of anything. You will do marvelous work The moment you fear, you are nobody - Swamy Vivekananda

If you think safety is expensive, try an accident... - O.P.Kharbanda

Preventable accidents, if they are not prevented due to our negligence, it is nothing short of a murder - Dr. Sarvepalli Radha Krishna, 2nd President of India

Zero accidents through zero unsafe behaviors. Do not be complacent that there are no accidents. There may be near miss accidents (NMAs). With luck/chance, somebody escaped knowingly or unknown to the person. But, we can't be safe, if we depend upon the luck.

Safety culture is how the organization behaves when no one is watching.

We make No compromise with respect to Morality, Ethics, or Safety. If a design or work practice is perceived to be unsafe, we do not proceed until the issue is resolved. - Mission statement by S&B Engineers & Consultants Ltd. http://www.sbec.com/safety/

Anger control during driving

I drive vehicle every day 13 km to my workplace and same distance back to home. Not a single day goes without someone crossing the vehicle unsafe manner. I am not alert, it may lead to road accident. Naturally, driver of bigger vehicle gets the blame. Everyday, I get angry whenever such a thing happens.

Off late, I am doing prayers and also listening to the preachings by holy personalities. I observed that my irritation arising from unsafe driving of others crossing my path, is less. I hope it will come down further.

Hence, taking my experience, those who believe in prayers or listening heartwarming preachings or music may do so and it can help to be calm and also help in our good health.

Protection from physical abuse at home

It is seen in the media about physical abuse or intimidation of parents or grand parents by children. Hard earned money or assets   are taken (grabbed) with or without taking care of elders at later years.

Cases are filed by a few of such elderly persons and courts have given judgement to restore back the property to elders when children failed to respect and take care.

Awareness about laws in simple language can be brought to common people through advertising,  displays, announcements, caller tunes, etc as was being done on digital arrest in present times. Same was done about safety during covid time.

Police patrolling of all areas will help people to approach and complain in case of difficulty.

Why others should tell me

In a factory, the safety personnel monitor safety aspects by  inspection,  survey, audit. But, these personnel are in shop floor for a limited time, while plant personnel will be for entire working hours and can identify the safety issues better than safety department. 
In a self driven approach, plant can do better than safety department and make work area better. 

If plant personnel take it as an insult about hazard identification by others,  then only improvements can happen. Hazards shall be identified by shop floor personnel themselves as they are present always. If not identified means that they are not bothered about safety.

A plant performance assessment shall include not only production,  but also the hazards identified and corrected, training, House keeping,  etc.

Use of bare conductors of electricity

Yesterday I saw use of series test lamp with bare conductors (no plug top) by government electrician for a work opposite my house at native place. 

It is a wrong practice.  Bare conductors can cause loose contact, friction, draw overload current or sparks, and may lead fire, flash burns, etc.

Professionals with experience can make such mistakes,  may be overconfidence,  clean record in the past, momentary lapse, urgency to do work, etc which is not correct and not acceptable.

Typical behaviour of airline passengers

Soon after takeoff,  a few rush to restroom,  some will call air hostess for water, some will pull the bag from cabin above head, some will get up and look at other passengers,  some will walk with their child (like a demo piece), some will go to their known persons and start conversation as if there is no time after. 

Now, soon after plane touches ground and taxiing to its gate,  some will unbuckle the seat belt as if they are under enormous pain, some will try to get up even while taxiing,  etc.

Many such actions are risky, but they don't mind.

Static charge

Social media news on shocking Static charge



Karma - consequence of an action

Bhagavadgita - The preachings of Lord Krishna states that one has to undergo the consequences / outcome of whatever we do (karma). 

In our day to day work,  if we follow the well laid procedures,  SOPs, protocals, then the outcome will be safe productivity.

If not followed, the results will be either way, depending upon circumstances and so called luck.

Luck will not be on outside always.

Law of averages will catch us.

Confined space work - hazards and precautions

The following link leads to confined space work. The opening statement is very much valid for all. The statement reads as,

Benjamin Franklin famously once said, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail” but nowhere is this statement clearer—or riskier—than when it comes to worker safety.
