Electrical Safety - only for a Week ?
In order to create awareness about observance of Electricity Rules and Regulations, the Industries, Energy and Labour Department of Maharashtra State os observing the Electrical Safety Week from 1 Dec to 7 Dec 2005 as per directives from the Central Electricity Board, New Delhi.
The leaflet distributed on this occasion mentions that on an average 1500 fatal accidents occur in Maharashtra State due to electrical shock. It makes no mention of the time span in which these 1500 took place - was it one month, one year, one day .... nobody knows, except probably the smart MBA/IAS officer who drafted the leaflet. And perhaps he or she decided to keep that piece of information to himself. Must be a brand new MBA.
Ive seen many agencies having these "safety weeks". The BEST too has some kind of safety week where perhaps the drivers are urged to drive safely, if only for a week. I thought safety was supposed to be continiuous - at all times - not only during some designated week decided by some IAS officer in Delhi. I know all this is for information and spreading the knowledge about safety, but then shouldnt this disbursement of safety knowledge take place all through the year ? Why should our populace have to wait for this one single wonderful week to be made aware of safety methods etc. ? And the BEST drivers, shouldnt they be driving safely ALWAYS ?
