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/

Privacy lost? - Mirrors/reflective glasses at roof height in hotels, function halls, etc

Recently, I went to a banquet hall to attend a function. My attention caught mirrors at roof height. I could clearly see myself in that. 

Think about mischief that can be played by fellows, by taking photos of girls from the mirror reflection and do whatever they like to do.

It should be banned to protect privacy.

Wrong design of hotel room

Recently,  I stayed in a hotel room. I found that the exhaust of washroom is connected to a duct. However,  the window air conditioner also draws inlet from same duct, making it unhygienic. 



Hazards from wooden railings of the stair cases

In the past one month, I had two minor incidents of penetration of small wooden piece of about one millimeter in length and much lesser thick into my fingers. 

This happened as I am taking support of railing during the use of stairs. 

Photos of railing and wooden speck are attached below.

It is found that the wooden railings are not smooth finish as they appear. The protrusions of the railing are posing hazard to users

Stainless steel railings that are anti-corrosive are better than these wooden railing.
