Accident investigation? Lol....!! it's so easy :)

An accident happened. Leakage, spillage, everything happened as usual. People were busy.
The concerned engineer was playing candy crush on his mobile. He couldn’t care for the message received on his wireless that had been set to low volume. He was busy.
The ambulance driver went outside to buy gutka. His boss needed gutka. He was busy too.
People gathered around. They started discussing. They turned busy too.
Where are the certified first aiders? They were shocked too. They had been shown demo on stage three years ago and issued certificates. They couldn’t help too.
The person is lying down, but now arise the question – Where is his buddy? Sorry, the buddy is in canteen sipping his cup of tea. He didn’t know too.
The buddy should be happy. He didn’t have to see the person injured.
Oh God…!!! Who is the buddy and who has been injured? The technician is at the canteen and it was his helper injured at work.
The man was taken to the Health centre in a bolero campher.
Fighting all odds he survived.
The HSE team knew about the incident in two days.
Now there will be an investigation - Accident Investigation.
An investigation team was formed. The team designated to investigate consisted of honchos from five different departments (Namely finance, HR, admin, commercial and Maintenance)
 Investigation started the very next week. The committee decided to visit the accident site. Location? Where did the accident happen? Was the accident real or a fabricated one? One pointed to the right, another to the left. Finally the committee moved straight and reached the location with the help of a guide. To their pleasure everything was back to normal. (definitely it calls for a party – everything is back to normal and this shows that the accident didn’t have any effect on the business….!!! Happiness overflowed). The team took twenty five different photographs from fifteen different angles. An eye witness appeared from nowhere. Gave a statement before the investigation committee – ‘ The person didn’t wear PPEs’.
The committee made a thirty page report which says

Root cause- The person was reluctant to wear PPEs

Corrective action – Terminated him 

Tail end: The team was congratulated by the group CEO for their findings

      Yes definitely, safety is taken seriously :) I know I have exaggerated a bit.
      I would love to believe that 'Safety is a continuous journey; it's not a destination'. I want more. Dil more maangta heh yaar:P
      I respect your comment and thank you for that.

      I guess, not always. But in most of the cases this outsourcing can help.

🌍 Embracing Sustainable Living, One Step at a Time! 👣

Dear Community, I recently encountered a common yet often overlooked problem - the sole of my running shoes decided to part ways with me.  🙄  Rather than rushing to buy a new pair, I decided to take a small step towards sustainability and repair them with Fevicol shoe fix. (I could have run down to a good cobbler, but I didn’t know anyone nearby) This experience got me thinking about the simple ways we can contribute to a more sustainable future. It's not just about big eco-initiatives; small, individual acts matter too.   Sustainability isn't just about solar panels and electric cars; it's about reusing, repairing, and repurposing in our daily lives. In this fast-paced world, we often forget that the most eco-friendly product is the one we already own – for the production of which, raw materials were used, processed in factories, transported and displayed in a shop until it was bought for use. So the way in which we as an end user can contribute is by prolonging its lif...

Risk Factors in Landslide Disaster Emergency Rescue

In the wake of the horrible landslides in Wayanad district of Kerala, among other articles and news, I came across a write up by a disaster management expert from the United Nation. A portion of his article translates roughly to 'An area that met with a disaster requires people with special skills. Even if there are small things to do (like serving food), some experience is required; such as the presence of mind to deal with disasters when they are seen in person, and benevolent behavior towards those affected by the disaster comes from the experience handling such situations.' this inspired me to give a thought on the the delicasies and risks involved in the Emergency rescue. Watch the videos running on news channels - you will come to know that the emergency recue after a landslide is no child's play. Landslide disasters caused by heavy rainfall pose significant risks to both rescue teams and affected communities. Understanding these risks is crucial for ensuring the saf...

The Influence of Childhood Team Sports on Adult Behavior

Recently while on job, I had an opportunity to have an engaging conversation with a business leader. The late evening discussion then went off topic, maneuvered smoothly through the passionate field of behaviour sciences and delved then into some thought provoking questions on where it is leading to in the world being increasingly dominated by AI and ML. On a similar front, another fact that has triggered my curiosity is that organizations are working hard to find leaders who can adapt to changes and provide necessary answers by implementing all available leadership development programs. During the recent years, learning & development leaders have manifested an increasing interest in engaging personalities from the sports sector, proof of this is the increasing number of athletes and coaches who participate in leadership programs offering their insights and experiences transferable to the businesses. These intrigued me to do a slew of internet searches which led to reading a co...
