A place for my personal thoughts/views on safety, with focus on industrial safety.
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/

Chewing 32 times - benefits
We read in books about the need for chewing any food item in the mouth for 32 times. However, we are all busy and in hurry due to lack of time, we swallow the food and leave for the work. By this we are taking more food which will add to our weight in the form of fat. Sometimes due to indigestion, we end up in vomittings or suffer with gastric troubles. This is my experience also.
Once, I took food leisurely by chewing more number of times and I found that the quantity of intake is very less. Moreover, I enjoyed my food also. This I did for a few days may be 10 days or so and subsequently I found my weight also reduced by 2 -3 kg.
As it is difficult to stick to good habbits, I could not follow the above method of eating and now my weight is hovering around 85 kg.
A number times, I thought of chewing more times but did not follow it.
Sometimes, we do not take lunch may be with the aim of reducing weight but we end up eating more food in the evening than had we took lunch. So, instead of weight loss, we will gain some more weight.
However, for the last few months, I am taking more banana and this is helping me in having my stomach clean and bowl movements are normal and in time. Only when I am in journey, I find this is disturbed and it will become normal once I am back home.
