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/

Water tank cleaning- 1 fatal, 3 hospitalized

Water tanks are presumed safe to enter, but they are not.

One contract worker entered the Water tank for cleaning,  died of asphyxiation. 3 more entered to rescue and lost consciousness. 

Please go through news report in the above link.

Oxygen levels will come down due to microbial action in water tanks. Oxygen levels shall be checked at actual place of work before entry. Better to use self contained breathing apparatus along with portable oxygen detectors and follow buddy system.
