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/

Why others should tell me

In a factory, the safety personnel monitor safety aspects by  inspection,  survey, audit. But, these personnel are in shop floor for a limited time, while plant personnel will be for entire working hours and can identify the safety issues better than safety department. 
In a self driven approach, plant can do better than safety department and make work area better. 

If plant personnel take it as an insult about hazard identification by others,  then only improvements can happen. Hazards shall be identified by shop floor personnel themselves as they are present always. If not identified means that they are not bothered about safety.

A plant performance assessment shall include not only production,  but also the hazards identified and corrected, training, House keeping,  etc.
