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/

In an incident, the sludge holding tank of an effluent treatment plant collapsed and the sludge from the tank buried alive 10 persons sleeping in the nearby building. The company operating the plant was asked to pay Rs 75 lakh compensation to the state government. Part of it will be used to pay to the families of victims and balance will be utilized for environment management in the area by pollution control board.

Reasons for tank collapse and company procedures to check for its integrity need to be investigated.

Saved my forehead because of helmet

Two days ago, in the evening I was going back to home on my two wheeler after office work. I saw an empty plastic water bottle ahead on the road. A bus overtaking me went near that bottle, and the bottle flew off and hit me on my forehead. I heard a loud sound, ringing in my ears. I escaped injury, as I was wearing a full helmet. Else, surely, I could have been distracted and might have fallen due to this sudden development.
