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/

Uneven floor - finger injury

A person was loading a gas cylinder on to the cylinder trolley, by rolling the cylinder in inclined position with one hand. While rolling the cylinder near the trolley, it slipped and fell on the hand. Before he could take off the hand, it fell and the person's finger came between the cylinder and the trolley. Though, the uneven surface was known to the people, not much attention was given for repairing it and this hazardous condition lead to finger injury. It is not possible always to predict what type injuries a hazard can cause. However, it is common sense to remove any hazard once it is idenfied.

If we don't respect the hazardous condition, then the hazard also will return the favour in the same manner. People spend more time and give justification for not attending the hazard rather than taking corrective action.
