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/

Value of human life for risk assessment

I received a mail (risk-safety.com blog) about Treatment of Value of Life and Injuries in Preparing Economic Evaluations is mentioned in an article of DOT in link given below:

http://ostpxweb.dot.gov/policy/reports/080205.htm

According to it, best present estimate of the economic value of preventing a human fatality is $5.8 million. One can go through the above link for factual information and basis for arriving at this value.

I have put it in this blog as I am sure, this will help organizations in risk assessment and reduction measures. I thank the people who arrived at this value and those who spread the information for saving valuable human lives.
