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/

Lineman dies of electrocution - power cables of two different areas on same electric pole-supply from one area not off


An electric pole had power cables from two different areas. One is de-enerzized, another one not, as the information of existence of power cables from two different areas on same pole is not known to the lineman. 
Power was switched off from the area in which lineman is working. 

Assuming no power, lineman climbed up the pole and was electrocuted by contact with energized cables from other area on the same pole.

If such conditions exist i.e. presence of cables from different areas on the same pole, then display of such information as line diagram on the pole itself can help workmen to know the details and take necessary action.
