Safety First

On the occassion of National Safety day, by remembering the incident ocuured in Bangalores Cartlon Tower building, here am highilighting the Importance of Safety, why we should follow safety rules and develop the culture of practicing thing in safe manner which will save us and our neighbours. Safety when it comes to an industry where each and every second counts while doing the job should follow the safety rules otherwise it will be a Dark day in everyones life.......


I am going to tell you a story about Safety First. There are very many rules and you should never go against these rules. I will tell you a story, about a boy who said that Safety rules never helped him, and he wasn't going to obey them. All the girls and boys talked to him about Safety rules but he never listened to them. One day he was playing ball and the ball rolled into the street. Of course he didn't look for Vehicles but ran into the street. A car came swiftly and hit him. The boy's mother was very sad to see him lying in bed. A boy came to call on him and told him all about Safety rules. The boy joined a Safety club and won a prize because he had learned his lesson.
