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/

Planning

When you want to do some work, you have to plan everything to be successful. Starting the work without planning may lead to failure and you will get dejected. You have to blame yourself. Listen to what the experienced people say. They have learnt may be at some cost and your are getting it free when they offer an advice. 

Many people are seen rushing at the last moment to catch the train or flight which doesn't wait for you whereas they could have started a bit early. You can spend some time in the station or airport effectively rather than sitting at home or in office or some other place. You don't know what obstacles are ahead. You can't check google map and take that time for as your travel time.



NMC PGMEB guidelines for stress reduction among PG medical students

The stress faced by medical students during post-graduation is noted by National Medical Commission and issued guidelines to all colleges to take steps like regulating working hours, weekly offs, sanctioning of leaves, counseling, yoga classes, etc. 

Though ragging is prohibited, colleges may identify by inviting anonymous grievances with grievance boxes placed in multiple locations NOT in open places but in toilets, so that students do not feel under watch and thus fair reporting of issues faced by students can be received and action can be taken accordingly.

These boxes can be opened at regular intervals, say, once in a day by an attendar. Receiving of this type of feedback will help college managements to improve their reputation and more students may prefer such colleges for admission. 

Students can be placed in round the clock 8 hour shifts like in factories with 24 hour minimum rest between shift change over periods. Also, students need to have access to hygienic food and water. 

It has to be seen that the faculty will have a fair assessment methodology without depending upon the feedback of senior residents, else, junior students may be forced to do the work of their seniors.

Though the junior doctors complain of stress, these same junior doctors may handle their juniors in the following years. Else, there should not be any such complaints about senior residents.
