DEAD VS SURVIVORS

 

 

Recently   l attended a  training on BEHAVIROUL BASED SAFETY. In that faculty   had told that if you visit the family of any accident victim the pain will be understood and sometimes it may change your attitude and influence your life.

 How true it is? I want to share with you my personal experience and importance of human life and safety and sometimes how decision of each one of us will affect the life of others.

 

               Some years back in one accident one migrant worker from Orissa died in an accident at dam.  I      D was one of the two entrusted with the job of disbursing money (obviously before demonetization) to his dependents. To my utter dismay there was a pathetic scene.

               One side widow of the victim with a two year old kid is standing and on the other side his old parents are standing. Both were virtually fighting for the compensation money to be given only               to them not to the other as they are having no other means to live and the other party may not               at all give anything to them. At that time it looked as if they were not bothered about the dead person but only interested about the money that is being disbursed. But the real point is having lost the only bread earner they are scared about their future and their very survival is in jeopardy. Hence they were trying to catch the last and only hope available of compensation money. Everybody there knows that the compensation money is just sufficient for survival only for few years. It will neither help in educating the children nor help in meeting the medical expenses of elders. We with the help of union leaders consoled them and disbursed the money to both in an appropriate way and somehow managed the situation.  

               But that incident made me think about the importance of life.

               WHO IS MORE IMPORTANT?  DEAD  OR SURVIVOR?

                DID ACCIDENT KILL ONLY ONE PERSON OR WHOLE FAMILY?

                WHO IS AT FAULT? THE PERSON CONCERNED OR THE PERSON WHO MADE HIM TO DO UNSAFE

                WORK?

                WHEN A FEW SECONDS THINKING COULD HAVE AVOIDED IT WHY PEOPLE ARE IN SO HURRY?

                 IS FEW LAKHS LOSS OR A BAD REMARK IS COSTLIER THAN LIFE OF WHOLE FAMILY?
