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/

BLEVE explanation with video

The following link gives explanation for BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion). The explanatory text below states that BLEVE is possible even with nonflammable liquids which should be noted. Many experts differ with this statement and they talk firmly that BLEVE is possible only with flammable substances. Though, the phenomena is same whether it is with flammable or non-flammable substances, I do not understand why some experts in the field differ about BLEVE with non-flammables. If the substance is flammable, then BLEVE is followed with a fireball, else no fireball. Thermal radiation from fireball can trigger secondary fires (domino) if flammables are present nearby.
