Dear All,
I would like to share some learnings from an incident which could have led to fatality. It was people's alertness at the gate that resulted in avoiding fatalities.
The basic reasons are parking the vehicle without applying the parking brake, no wheel stopper positioned, and the engine running. As our ABC plant has general contours with a slope, the vehicle moved slowly because it was kept in running condition.
Therefore, we need to be extra vigilant whenever and wherever you come across such observations and take care of the following:
1. Vehicle parked in running condition: ask for checking the functioning of the self-start. If it is not working, inform security, and security shall not allow such vehicles.
2. Insist on using wheel stoppers when the vehicle is in a stopped condition.
3. Avoid sitting, sleeping, or taking rest near or underneath vehicles.
4. Parking on slopes should not be allowed.
Dear Team,
I mentioned ABC instead of the company name as knowing the name of the company is not that important. Please find the attached photo of this incident.

Dear Inder,
You said exactly right!!! Just sharing this incident that happened at the airport last week. My friend and I were going to send off our friend. When we reached the airport, I felt hungry, so I stepped off from the gate entrance near the ice cream parlor. I grabbed some ice cream and saw off my friend. As soon as we came back to the parking area, I was shocked to see that my friend had forgotten to apply the PARK/HAND BRAKE. He had stopped on a slope, resulting in a collision with another vehicle, and we received a 30,000 Fdj fine. He is still upset about that incident...
It is the law that we need to apply the PARK/HAND BRAKE when we park (OSHA 1926.601(b)).
A good wakeup call, Mr. Inder. I will share this with my colleagues.
Keep on sharing.
