Kind Attention-All CEOs

@safetitude: Kind Attention- All CEOs

The accident in an Indian nation run Thermal Power Plant (32 deaths and 100 injured) is one of the deadliest industrial occurrences that took society a back as how an industry meant to provide livelihood can snatch lives of many. Questions like why safety aspects are being ignored and is given a back seat are hounding everyone. As usual, this wave I am sure will vanish in a further couple of days and by the time inquiry report will come, everything will get settled. But the question of safety will remain where it was till we again see a bigger one next time. 
Reasons that end into such accidents are multiple however, the prime cause is apathy of the person who has ultimate authority/influence over the day today activities in the organisation. I wont jump into conclusions by guess on the situations leading to this incident before the govt. make available the inquiry report. 
However, I have been campaigning through posts /articles highlighting the ways and means as how safety can be improved in industry and can be a business case as well. The challenges to safety in today's complicated process and technology can't be met with yesterday's conventional approaches. Safety has to take befitting pace with changing scenario, else accident will keep on killing innocent people further too.
I urged all CEOs and other like executives to please give safety a place in your business agenda and do whatever practicable to ensure safety of people on and off-site by integrated it in all the business activity.
I am sure you will be able to achieve high safety score too like you achieve other business objectives of the organisation.
Let's awake and stand up for the noble cause of safety!!

@safetitude: 6-Steps Total Safety Culture Model Further, an extension to 2 earlier posts that intended to enhance Safety performance and to build and establish a Total Safety Culture (TSC), this is one proprietary designed model as a guide to the journey. The strategy can be started with a small model with a selection of a change agent ( a worker with right safety attitude and zealous to take forward) and making him work through various stages of the model. Once one cycle is established, this can be repeated on the bigger scale until every worker in a business unit is covered. This also can be extended to higher management members in a later phase of implementation.

                                                     S A F E T I T U D E Arc Flash Boundary (AFB) Electrical related accidents are most severest one owing to its invincible and fatal-result characteristics. The extensive use of electricity almost everywhere as risk-escalating factor makes the things even worse. It is important to know that working on live low voltage (220V) installation is not alone dangerous but also working near live energized one is equally risky. Therefore, an understanding of Arc Flash Boundary becomes of prime importance. The following brief knowledge help you understand about AFB An energy exposure of 1.2 calories per centimeter squared (Cal/cm2) is the widely accepted incident energy value considered to be where the onset of a second-degree burn could occur. The AFB must be determined as part of an arc flash risk assessment and a requirement for arc flash labels. It can be calculated using an equation defined by IEEE 1584—IEEE Guide for Performing Arc Flash Haz
