SAFETY
MOMENT
WHAT HAPPENED…. !!!
On 23rd January 2019 around 12.30 am, one of our loader
operators was feeding crusher machine along with one
helper. but suddenly their loader stopped working due to
some electrical fault. Instead of waiting for the mechanic to
come and repair the loader they decided to fix it
themselves.
The helper asked the operator to sit in the cabin and try to
start the loader while he was sitting on the back of the tyre
and attached cables to its battery.
As the operator tried to start the engine, suddenly it moved
forward with a jerk and unfortunately the helper sitting on
the tyre got stucked between the tyre and mudguard and
died on the spot. His body stucked there for almost 6 hours
and later on was shifted to the hospital.
WHY IT HAPPENED…?
1. No supervision…... As there were limited number of workers
working, so the management decided not to deploy any safety officer.
1. Work pressure…... There was immense pressure on operator to
finish the task at any cost that forced the operator to take short cut.
1. Personal negligence… Instead of waiting for the mechanic to
repair the loader, they tried to fix it themselves.
LESSON LEARNED…...
1. No matter how small the activity is, it must be
supervised all the time.
2. Short cuts always lead to accidents.
3. Achieving work targets is important but not
cost of someone’s life.
