Message
of the Month
Dear Colleagues,
Ramadhan is here and it has come at
the right time. It is the month of
reflection and contemplation. Looking
back at previous nine months one can
clearly observe that we have survived
difficult times and the performance is
so far moving towards overall
improvement albeit in a slow but a
steady pace. As much as we are
pleased with the overall performance,
we have to also realise that we had
painful incidents that claimed lives
of a colleague and an innocent child.
Others have been paralysed for ever.
We
had a traffic surveillance week in the
month of September in Mina Al-Fahal
industrial area. The results were not
encouraging. For every day, we
recorded on the average 100 speed
violations, 20 individuals using
mobile whilst driving and a sizeable
number not wearing seat belts on front
seats.
We
continue to search for answers that
can make people be more responsible
towards their health and safety. One
thing we know for sure is that people
natural risk takers. The question
remains, do they appreciate
consequences of taking risks? Those
who survived horrific incidents all
testify to one fact. The risk they
took was not worth the pain. It was
not worth the time they wanted to
save, or the ruling they wanted to
break or the result they wanted to
achieve.
In
the month of Ramadhan, please ask
yourself some basic and sincere but
basic questions.
-
What rules are you violating? (HSE,
principles, values or for that
matter a trust?)
-
Who will be the looser should this
violation go wrong when you run out
of luck?
-
What decisions can you take right
now to rectify the situation?
Let us all have a peaceful month of
Ramadhan. Let us all take that extra
minute to stop and think before we
engage in our activities. Let us all
demonstrate that we can be safe and we
can achieve performance in a safe
manner. More importantly, let us
remain healthy and be health conscious
in the month of Ramadhan and beyond.
Ramadhan Mubark!
