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/

Road safety - taking vehicle out from home - ramp to road - collisions?

Yesterday,  I  attended a marriage held in a community hall. Vehicle parking is in cellar with upward ramp from the road.

While leaving, I have to be cautious as the ramp is steep and immediately leads to the road. No visibility on to either side of the road till vehicle comes down as the gates of the community hall block it.

Every possibility exists, of collision with vehicles moving on the road.

Same is true at many places as we can see. If some offset is provided between gates, wall and road, it will help drivers to see others and be cautious. Even ramp also should not be extended upto the road.  Some flat landing space atleast for one vehicle should be ensured before joining the road.
