Dear Dipil and Raghu,

Nice videos from both of you. Here is another one from me.

Dear Firoz and Raghu,

Good contribution again. Now enjoy another one on cranes from my side. Let's keep up the pace.

Dear Mr. Dilip,

That's really great and implies a clear message!

Do keep on sending such worthy information. There was an actual incident last month as narrated below which emphasizes the importance of safety belt.

Quote:

How a seat belt saved us is explained here....

Myself and Mr. S. Premchandar had been to Pondy for a plant visit between 11th and 13th November for a follow-up. I used to take my personal SANTRO car for Akam and Pondy factory visits for the last 3 years. On Saturday, the 13th, while returning to Chennai, we met with a serious accident at Mamandur, but it was a great escape for both of us.

As we were nearing Mamandur, two persons riding a TVS XL (later we came to know that they were fully drunk) wanted to cut across the road to the opposite side. There is an opening in the middle of the median for the bus to take a U-turn. They stopped for a while at the median but later changed their minds and crossed the road in the opposite direction when my car was just 20 feet away at 70 kmph. It was less than a second to make a decision. I chose to avoid hitting them directly and drove my car to the left extreme lane. I was almost successful in that action. Unfortunately, after traveling a few feet, there was a heap of concrete mixture kept for road repair in the left lane, and I could not avoid it.

The end result was that my car overturned and toppled 2 times. Both of us were wearing seat belts at that time and were very safe inside the car despite overturning twice. My sincere advice to all vehicle owners and colleagues is not to ignore wearing seat belts. In the process, Mr. Premchander escaped with a minor head injury, and I was free from any injury. The old SANTRO 2000 model, known for its strong body, helped both of us avoid major injuries even though my car was completely damaged.

A complaint was filed at Padalam Police Station. The police released my car after I provided a letter not to proceed with a case against those two-wheeler riders. They did not register an FIR but will issue a damage/release certificate to claim insurance after Mr. Premchandar also provides a written letter.

My car was taken to Kun-Hyundai, Ambattur Industrial Estate, for valuation and insurance claim. However, my car is in a beyond-repairable condition.

For your information, please.

Regards,

Dear Mr. Sundar,

Thank you very much for sharing your experience on the importance of wearing a seatbelt while driving. It is truly an eye-opener for all of us. The incident you described is something I plan to share with my team.

Keep sharing...

Thank you.

Sorry to hear your friend had a motor vehicle accident.

Let's talk about this for a second.

It was a real plus that these two gentlemen were wearing a seatbelt. It reinforces my point on the importance of being aware of your surroundings.

What it doesn't address is the aftermath of the incident, like always looking several blocks down the road while driving and scanning three hundred and sixty degrees around you at all times.

Driving offensively, not defensively (defense is now—offensive is developing a proactive game plan as you drive).

Always use signal lights, maintain a good gap in traffic, or at least a full two car lengths of distance ahead of you. Avoid driving behind billboards like tall trucks or vans that may block your view, and secure all materials in your vehicle to prevent them from becoming dangerous projectiles in the event of a crash.

Make sure to adjust your headrests and seatbelts properly and position yourself securely in your vehicle like a racecar driver would.

Good maintenance of the vehicle is equally important, including having a clear and clean windshield, proper tire pressure, and well-maintained tires to prevent accidents caused by blowouts or tire failures.

Properly adjust your side mirrors to maximize your field of view, adjust your driving speed to traffic conditions, and allow for errors or delays. Remember to enjoy the journey, as ending up in a hospital bed or coffin is far from ideal.

Minimize distractions like cell phones or beverages while driving, and be familiar with the area you are in, especially high-crash locations like intersections. Practice commentary driving to stay alert and aware of potential hazards.

Now, let's talk about the two intoxicated individuals and their reckless behavior. They were impaired and should not have been allowed to continue, as their actions could have resulted in severe consequences. It's crucial to always be vigilant for hazards, whether driving to work or during work activities, and to conduct a hazard assessment to plan your route and anticipate risks.

Ensure all necessary paperwork is completed and also be prepared to provide first aid to accident victims. Knowing how to control bleeding or stabilize neck and back injuries can be crucial in such situations, as improper care could lead to permanent damage.

Remember to handle all biohazards with care when providing first aid, using gloves or face masks, and properly disposing of contaminated items. Encourage all employees to take professional driver courses to enhance skills and prevent incidents.

Maintaining a proactive approach to safety on the road is essential for preventing accidents and ensuring the well-being of all individuals involved.

Who caused the accident for Dipil's friend?

Well, we could say everyone.

It could have been the city putting the pile of cement in the location to repair roads, a common thing and a known hazard.

It could have been the two idiots on the bike who were drunk.

It could have been the other traffic congestion around them at the time.

It could have been the two drivers themselves or the pressures of the business to get to where they were going.

It could have been the driver trainer who taught the two to drive.

It could have been lots, but safety is not about blame but correction and finding a better way to prevent further incidents.

As much as the Smith System of driving has flaws in some of its teachings, it does three things really right:

1. Always look up and get the big picture, the SIPDE training.
2. Always commentary drive, talk out loud about what you see, not just the weather or what was for dinner last night.
3. Finally, training is important regardless if it is confined space or first aid or even driving.

Here are some examples of the Smith System. I have larger and better ones on my site if anyone needs them, and they, like the other 8000 plus training items, are free for the using.

Dear GK & Penny,

Thank you for your valuable input/message. I will share the same with my friends and employees, especially those who use the car. Thanks for your message and links, Mr. Penny.

Dear Dipil & Firoz,

Thank you for the previous video. Here is one more from my side regarding a concrete pump accident.

Keep on sharing.

Thanks & Be safe,
Raghu

Dear Dipil, Firoz, GK, Penny, Hansa Madam, and all,

This is my first comment after watching this site daily. I have downloaded all movie clips and presentations until today.

As I am an EHS coordinator in my company, I have to give lectures for awareness purposes. All these small clips are making my lectures lively even during the napping hours. Actually, I am challenging my audience, not allowing them to sleep during the course.

THANKS A LOT FOR DOING THIS WORK FOR A NOBLE CAUSE WITHOUT HAVING ANY PERSONAL INTEREST. HATS OFF TO YOU ALL, GUYS.

One more interesting link to share with all of you is that two free DVDs are available from the following link, which are very useful. I have provided some narration regarding those DVDs.

Please visit csb.gov.

The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) is an independent federal agency in charge of investigating industrial chemical accidents. CSB investigations look into all aspects of chemical accidents, including physical causes such as equipment failure, as well as inadequacies in regulations, industry standards, and safety management systems. The Board makes safety recommendations to companies, industry organizations, labor groups, and regulatory agencies such as OSHA and EPA.

In addition to detailed investigation and documentation of all evidence, CSB is authorized to prepare video films, including actual shots from the accident sites and interviews with eyewitnesses, with animated modeling to focus on the cause of the incident and the chain of lapses leading to the catastrophe. At the end of the film, CSB recommends remedial measures that can provide a vital lesson to other chemical industries for preventing such incidents in their own work premises.
