Dear All,
Hope that by seeing the photographs, people would perceive it as a mega construction project. It clearly indicates the safety awareness and the safety management system at their site.
Risk is associated with all jobs. It can be reduced or controlled only by conducting a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) or a Hazardous Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA).

Dear Bala,
You have pointed out rightly, "BIG THINGS GO WRONG BECAUSE WE DON'T ACT ON SMALL THINGS." Our safety trainings should give emphasis to all these aspects as well. Awareness and visible commitment towards safety from top management/government officials is the only cure.

It is completely an attitudinal problem. People take everything for granted. This incident is purely due to negligence. Wise men will learn from others' mistakes; fools will never learn from even their own mistakes. How many of us want to be wise, choice is yours.

It's a real eye-opener incident. I agree with Mr. V Balaji that people take everything for granted. I always remember one quote from my Safety Leader, "SAFETY IS JUST COMMON SENSE." Most incidents happen due to negligence only.

Dear Dipil,
Good job on sharing this information. Where did this accident happen? Everyone knows what to do, but no one is following the procedures. Attention is only paid when things go wrong. We are sacrificing too many valuable human lives to learn about safety. Where do we stand?

Dear Viney,
As you said obviously right!!! "SAFETY IS JUST A COMMON SENSE" when i reading your quote its suddenly remembers in my mind very long time ago i had reading this quote about common sense in one social network
“Nowadays most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.”

Dear Vijay,
Exactly, you said it right, Vijay. "We are paying much valuable human life to learn safety." Everybody knows what we want to do? What are the rules for everything? A very small example: how many of them use a HELMET while driving a 2-wheeler? Most of them use helmets, but they do not fasten the chin straps while using the helmet.
Here is a live example of mine (I am ashamed of myself to say this: the helmet I am using in India has a chin strap, but it is damaged. I know if I fall, it will surely fly away from my head, but I am still using it.) I am sure I will change it next time!
Mr. Vijay, I understand your feelings by your words, always do our level best...

Dear Dipil,
Great job. In our shipyard, the movement of the hydra is very high. The hydra operator has developed the habit of listening to music while driving the hydra and also talking on mobile phones. I have posted your incident on the notice board and instructed security not to allow any hydra operator to take the phone inside. We have standard operating procedures (SOP) for goods movement, and we are providing training to workers and hydra operators to ensure compliance with this SOP.
Yours in safety,
