Dear All,
On the occasion of "National Safety Day 4th March 2012, I have attached a suggested program "SAFETY CIRCLE (Among the Employees) PROGRAM" which will provide good results. The Safety Circles are established to promote safety awareness among all employees in the plant, including contractor workers. A Safety Circle typically consists of 10 to 15 members with one leader, and these circles are formed in all departments/sections (sometimes combining 2/3 departments or sections). All members belong to the same work area. The duties and responsibilities of the safety circle leader and members are well-defined. The total number of Safety Circles is determined by the total strength of the section/department.

Dear PBS Kumar,
Thank you for sharing a nice idea with all of us. I have a few doubts regarding the concept:
1. Will this Safety Circle be a short-term initiative or a permanent team?
2. How can we motivate employees through this?
I feel this is akin to a Toolbox Talk, where everyone gathers section-wise to discuss safety for 10-15 minutes daily. In the safety circle, you suggested conducting it fortnightly. I believe that daily Toolbox Talks are more effective than this. What do you think?
Kind regards, [Your Name]

Dear Dipil Kumar ji,
It depends on your company policy. My advice is to engage a permanent team. Certainly, it will give you the best result if we engage it successfully. Start by wearing the PPE first. The daily Toolbox (SUGGESTION BOX) is one method, no doubt. It is for individual opening collection purposes only. However, the concerned department head is also involved and explains the importance of safety and how to obey the rules within this safety circle.
ONCE TRY AND SEE THE CHANGES AMONG THE EMPLOYEES.

Dear PBS Kumar,
Thank you for clearing the doubt.
In our plant, we have the following two systems:
1. Tool Box Talk before the start of each shift - mainly 5-10 minutes. During the tool box talk, we explain the Job-Specific Safe Work Practices (SWP) to all the workers involved in that particular job. For the general shift, the TBT time is from 8:30 AM to 8:40 AM.
2. We have teams consisting of workers and staff for each section in our plant. These teams primarily handle all the process parameters and safety aspects. The teams meet every morning for half an hour from 8:45 AM to 9:15 AM. This is part of our World-Class Manufacturing (WCM) System. I believe your concept of the safety circle aligns with our WCM System. Those who choose to adopt this idea will likely see positive results, but visible management support is crucial for successful implementation.
Thank you once again for sharing this with us.

Dear Sir,
Safety is first, work is next. Everybody should review safety aspects. Untoward incidents have occurred in the past. Steps are being taken to ensure 100% safety in all organizations. It is a must. Follow at least on Safety Day - celebrate the day as a festival. Managements should be at the forefront to celebrate such festivals. It is good for the organizations as well as for their working employees. The Factories Department will issue slogans, pamphlets, and exhibits. Also, seek their assistance and invite the Factories Inspectors who will share safety measures they may come across.

Why are we celebrating National Safety Day?
After independence, there was rapid industrialization in our country, which also resulted in an increase in the number of accidents. At that time, there was no such body to guide industries on safety.
In view of the rising trend of industrial accidents in the country, the labor minister's conference in its 22nd session in 1962 recommended that "a conference on safety in factories should be convened and the question of setting up the National Safety Council for conducting a campaign on accident prevention should be considered."
The recommendation of the conference was approved by the 24th session of the standing labor committee, which met on 13th to 14th February 1966 in New Delhi under the chairmanship of the late Shri Jagjivan Ram (at that time he was a union minister), and the proposal concerning the constitution of the National Safety Council (NSC) was set up on 4th March 1966 by the ministry.
Subsequently, it was decided that this day, 4th March, should be commemorated as National Safety Day every year in the form of a National awareness campaign. Since 1972, National Safety Day has been celebrated every year throughout the country to reiterate the importance of safety and create an awareness campaign nationwide.
Below is the theme for "National Safety Day - 2012":
"Ensure a safe and healthy working environment - A fundamental human right"
