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/

Poor safety management - cause for blasts in chemical factory leading to 23 deaths

The chemical factory stores vinyl chloride (chloroethene, chloroethylene) in three tanks. Two tanks were full with the chemical at the time of the incident. Due to leak, pressure in the tank dropped. Instead of finding the cause for pressure drop, operators pumped more chemical into the tank. This lead to bursting of tank and release of chemical. Ignition source from outside the plant caused explosion of the leaked chemical, burning the trucks and cars outside the plant. 23 persons died and 22 were injured in the incident.
