All the newspapers had photographs of DMRC Chief Sreedharan on the front page the day after the incident occurred. The mystery of the bridge collapse is hidden in the photograph itself if we SEE it closely.
Look at very sad Mr. Sreedharan, who was in a way applauded for taking moral responsibility of the mishap. But I feel that he should take the overall responsibility too. Now once again look at him closely. The strap of his helmet is resting on the helmet only instead of its proper place, i.e. chin.
Such type of behaviour is not at all expected from a person of rank of DMRC Chief, Mr. Sreedharan!!!! Imagine the work culture such a thing can propogate. No one will, then, wear safety apparatus unless a superior is present on duty. This will create an attitude of complacence, which ultimately results in incidents like THIS. Whatever the immediate reason for the incident might be, the cause was definitely complacence.
We hope that the superiors themselves follow all the rules and regulations and set good example for the subordinates. If they set a good example, it will be easier to ensure that the others follow rules too. Promoting a SAFETY CULTURE is absolutely necessary to avoid such things from happening again.
