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/

What is safe speed on the road?

Last few days, I felt myself lucky many times on the road while going to my workplace. All the times, I feel I saved my self from some injury due to my low driving speed. There are pedestrians crossing the road all of a sudden, persons asking for lift by coming to half of the road, 2-/3-/4-wheelers suddenly coming to the middle of the road from left side, persons moving on the road while conversing on the mobile, pushcarts taking their own time to move, and so on.
Many times I felt like shouting, but what is the use other than increasing my stress and spoiling my day.
I found during these observations that the safe speed (not average speed) on the road that I can control my self from hitting others on the road is 30 kmph, not more than that. With this speed, even if someone crosses my line suddenly or the vehicle in front stops suddenly, still I can apply brakes and avoid any accident even if the other fellow on the road wants to take a hit from me.
