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/

Need for fire NOC should be made compulsory for all buildings irrespective of heights and nature of activities

As per legislations, generally, fire no objection certificate (NOC) is issued by concerned fire service department, if the height of the building is above 15 m.
However, this requirement needs to be changed to all buildings, irrespective of height and use.
Many fire incidents are attributed to short circuits, as we read from news papers.
Some incidents are due to materials handled in the buildings, and these buildings / dwellings are not necessarily above 15 m height.
Many use part of the house/commercial complex as storage of substances, solvents, fire crackers, etc legally / illegally.
Some may not intend to use the building initially for dangerous substances, but later on, may use for the same. The initial conditions are not valid, later.
All the above, make one to feel it necessary for legislations that require fire NOC, apart from other requirements, mandatory.
