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/

In another incident in Hyderabad, a hotel security person falls down on to the ground from chair during sleep and dies while undergoing treatment.

An article from wikipedia on falling asleep during work can be read.

Many times persons think of fall hazards only while working at heights say 3.0 m. Some persons make fun of safety officials, when ask for proper access, scaffold, working platform safety belt etc. But, from the incidents above, it is clear any place above ground is a potential condition for fall. Such persons who don't think of height hazards should be summarily kicked out to save poor workmen.

Something more, though, different, is worth noting, as below.

A serial killer getting angry on persons sleeping at work used to injure such persons, was caught. We learn so much from internet and should be cautious.

In another incident, a person trying to commit suicide by jumping from a three storey building falls on a 75 year old woman below, killing the poor lady.
