In india no one cares about safety,
one of the many Carelessness which i observed are as below very few turned into fatalities:
one electrician known to our neighbour died while accidently boring / drilling into live wire in a house, He was drilling holes for some work and accidently drilled into live wire / wires. he was so careless that did not do any check whether any concealed wiring is there are not. Also in india there is no proper diagram / rule of concealed wiring depending on each electrician they have their own concealed plans and not at 90% angles,
Common carelessness done by electricians are speaking on mobile while working near HT, touching wire to check whether its live or not, taking the rubber insulation out with teeth, doing careless joints without proper insulation.
Here even sewage drains are cleaned manually, in chennai in past one month i saw in newspapers around 5 cases, inspite of HC banning manual scavenging no one follows the rules.
Electricity Board Electricians first climb the pole and check the problem and then send their counterpart to switch off the power, many times they were working on line when some staff member accidently switched on the power resulting in instant death. They dont have wireless /walkie talkie or any sort of coordination between them, so that they can warn that no one should switch on power.
Whoever needs gloves dont ever wear them, construction workers wear a plastic hat over their heads, i dont think this is a safety hat as even a light fall and break the plastic hat into pieces, also no one wears shoes all wear chappals, dont cover their bodies, etc etc
Many such carelessness we find in numerous small scale industries, only big MNCs have strict safetly code, once when i went with my uncle to one mechanical engg factory i was speaking on mobile and by mistake entered the shop floor area, immediately i was caught by one supervisor, who saw my looks and dressing and told that what are you doing in shop floor speaking on mobile you can get hurt. Move away from this area.

Thank you,Raghu for sharing. Dipil is right that we do not come to know about 90%. I collect clippings from two newspapers and each year I write about all the events published in my Guj Magazine

Recently Client representative from Australia came to our factory and after seeing the production he was impressed but was very upset with the SAFETY practices.. to our knowledge we thought we were the best but when he came and pointed out unsafe and near miss situations we were surprised that we are following not even 10% of Safety followed in OZ. he said in OZ Zero tolerance to unsafe practices and he even pointed out how top people were fired for that.
PPE are provided but employees do not care for that...(gloves were found in the pockets and inside the machines) ..lot of things could be told about so ccalled the lethargic attitude
i wish people become more conscious about safety

Dear Raghu,
Thanks for the update.
Dear All,
Awareness and training can help reduce the accidents.
As a part of our CSR drive, and Government - Public Partnership we have trained about 1200 students at ITI Nasik.
Many hazards were communicated.
Recently we conducted training for housewifes on domestic safety.
Some practical exercises were conducted as to how to replace fuse wires of adequate current capacity.
This helps. Need for all of us is to reach maximum people.
Thanks & Regards,
