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/

Some measures for improving environment

With time, villages are becoming towns, towns to cities, cities to metros. Increased urbanization is demanding development of infrastructure. Once barren lands or green areas are now become concrete structures. 
There is demand for land, water, electricity, roads, houses, etc. Increased population is leading to more and more vehicles on the roads and pollution levels are on the rise. There are vehicles everywhere on the road. Persons are not considering having own parking areas inside their buildings. Vehicles are parked on the public roads leading to congestion. 
Cold and fever which were once seen for short duration are now not cured even after a month of suffering. 
To improve environment, I feel that we should fix population density in terms of number of persons per unit area. Along with it, we also need to fix green density. Town planners need to consider this while issuing permission. There should not be any scope for regularization of unauthorized constructions. If anybody violates, instead of regularization, penalties need to be collected and the ownership of  illegally constructed properties should go to government. No appeal shall be entertained in this regard.
Similarly, owners of vehicles parked on the roads shall be punished.
Rainwater harvesting and soak pits shall be part of every area developed. The percentage of area for this also should be fixed and to be followed.
For existing buildings, time frame of six months or one year to be given and these requirements to be complied. There should not be any extensions. And huge penalties to be imposed on violators. 
On my commute to workplace, I see places with no water and wastage of water. People use water for washing and the washed water flows on the water. In some areas, people wait for water tankers to collect the little whatever they can get hold. Every service should be charged for its actual cost.
