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/

Covid lockdown - possible impact of few relaxed hours to do shopping

Most of the state governments imposed lockdown to contain the spread of covid among the public. A few hours of time in the morning are allowed for the public to do essential shopping. However, it is seen that crowd has increased enormously on roads and shops, as everybody wants to buy for home. Social distancing is hardly visible during these hours, as persons are in hurry to complete shopping and reach home before the relaxed hours end. As industrial activity is permitted to ensure continuous supplies and not to affect the economy, those office goers are also on the roads at the same time.

 This may lead to more spread and the impact in the form of increased numbers may be felt after some weeks. It is suggested to increase the hours to enable shopping by the public so that crowding can be less, compared to present scenario. Shopping times also can be different to office goers' timings, by keeping say, 1000-1500 hr and late night hours like 2200-0300 hr. This may help to reduce crowding. The public should make use of online booking and delivery systems which the governments already permitted to avoid the public going outside.
