A place for my personal thoughts/views on safety, with focus on industrial safety.
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/

Stay Covered in the Sun » OHS Insider OHS Insider
The article explains that those who work under Sun for more number of days, particularly during 1200 hr noon to 1400 hr get exposed to strong ultraviolet (UV) radiation that can cause skin cancer and advises to limit working during 1100 hr to 1600 hr. A good article.
Yesterday, I was under hot sun during 1115 hr to 1400 hr and my forearms and face have become red. Even after 30 hours, still I am having burning sensation on the exposed parts. Few years ago also, when I went out under hot sun, I saw the skin on my both forearms peeling off after few days. Imagine the plight of the persons who have to work for their livelihood. Immediate sun burns and possible skin cancer at a later date can not be ruled for those workmen.
