2. Safety – a matter of life - On Accidents and prevention - Sirdesai N R

Do not be lost in over confidence or complacency during the work that you are doing Do not say that you have tons of experience and regarding safety you have to fear or learn nothing Do not be absent minded and go to the wrong equipment or bay for working Do not take short cuts, defeat interlocks or hurry up to catch your bus in the evening Always follow the check lists so that you do not miss anything Interrupting work and taking phone calls during critical activities would be highly unwise Please take utmost care of safety as it is a matter of your life

Ignoring safety will lead to an accident which is terrible The condition of those electrocuted or suffer accidents is horrible Months are spent in hospitals getting treatments unbearable Then also they are extremely lucky if they somehow survive Please take utmost care of safety as it is a matter of your life

You are empowered to STOP unsafe work, an authority which you can anytime exercise Do not take any sort of calculated risks, life isn’t a game of dice Follow the safety systems correctly and if in doubt take your senior’s advice Remember always that for a calamity a small error, misunderstanding or slip can also suffice Please take utmost care of safety as it is a matter of your life

Come, let us together bring about a new safety culture Where things are anticipated in advance and untoward incidents do not occur This is the best gift we can offer each other, in our daily working life Please take utmost care of safety as it is a matter of your life
