It is evident from the study done that UNSAFE ACTS account for 80 % of all causes of accidents. It is a most vulnerable link in the sequence of accident causation model given by many scientists. Also equally difficult is the management of unsafe acts- human behaviours that is influenced by many internal and external factors. One another important nature of human behaviour is its dynamism because of that same person behaves differently as response to particular stimuli in different circumstances. Understanding of the human psychology for predicting unsafe acts (Behaviours) and managing it has ever been a challenge to all the persons working for the prevention of accidents in industry, at roads, at home, in air/water or at any other like place of activity. It is also true that any amounts of efforts done to manage the two elements of the accident tirade-Person (competency) and Environment (workplace), third one- Behaviour (unsafe act) is enough to negate this.

Safety culture is the attitude, beliefs, perceptions and values that employees share in relation to safety in the workplace. Safety culture is a part of organizational culture, and has been described by the phrase "the way we do things around here".

This time I wish to share something unusual!! Emotional Bank Account (EBA), I am going to share about is not anyway related to finance yet is more important than money actually. It is an  account of trust instead of money. It's an account based on how safe you feel with another person. With money you can buy any material things of your like but certainly not the relationship. You can build a true relationship with anyone only when you possess one with you. Our life is worth living because of we make and sustain many relations pertaining to personal, professional, business, societal or like many others.  Covey identifies six ways to make deposits (or reduce withdrawals): 1) Understanding the Individual: This means listening intently to what the other person is saying and empathizing with how they may feel.

Hiring someone for imparting training or engaging some agency for their services in Safety/technical/commercial arena has been an important aspect of efficient business operation. That is why, there is huge potential on both sides (donor - acceptor) and one of the reason why market is flooded with offers on consultancy/training ranging from an individual to a big organization. While this is true that no services are viable without money preposition however the trend of exaggerating is never seen before. It is unlikely, that an organization that considers training & development a must for the growth of their business through individual development and invests a good amount of resources on it hardly ensures ROI (Return on Investment). So, you may see many organizations expending much on advertisement than striving to improve the quality of the training/services on offer by them. Its universal truth that any services provided purely on the monitory gain lacks quality in deliver...
