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/

Borewells - Death traps

It is usual to read fall of children in the bore holes. The incidents repeat. Everybody expresses their sympathy, TV Channels cover live of the efforts by concerned authorities. They show frame by frame the sorrowful faces of parents and relatives of the victim. Then, after few days of the incident everybody forgets. Again the old footage comes in to open when a similar incident happens again. Special courts should be constituted to deliver immediate judgement to the persons who left the borewells open causing children to fall into them. Then only proper protective measures like barricading the area, providing cover with lock and key to the bore hole, etc will be taken. Though, fear works only when it is put into practice, however, such a situation may bring awareness to the persons responsible for digging borewells so that they will be rendered safe.
