Bank employee takes a nap on keyboard, transfers millions | The Hindu
293 million US dollars were transferred by a bank employee who was asleep while on the job. Imagine what can happen if somebody on the job in the control room of a chemical plant sleeps.
All plant employees should be healthy, and had sufficient rest before attending their duty. In some plants, workers have long working hours and on few occasions, they have to continue if reliever does not come, doing overtime.
Legislations specify number of working hours (8-9.5 hr) with rest in between and also the number of hours which a person can work continuously in a day and number of hours in a week, quarter and so on to ensure that they get sufficient rest and are not forced or lured for extra money they get. It is not possible to work more hours continuously and this will lead to mistakes and accidents.

Forklift for transport of persons
Most famous cricketer and politician, Imran Khan fell from a makeshift platform on the forks of a forklift, while moving up to reach election campaign stage. The video (http://vimeo.com/65647621) and (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=AlUH9vqCf5g) show clearly that already, it was used to move some people on to the stage before the incident happened. There were 6-7 persons including Imran Khan on the forklift, and while fifth person tried to go up, the group lost balance and fell from a height of about 5 m.
The idea of using forklift instead of erecting steps to reach the stage is a misconceived one and in the process caused injuries to the cricketer and politician. In industries, use of forklift for other than material handling/movement is viewed seriously.
