Death of negligence

      A few days back, I was in Motijheel for an official work. I was waiting for the chief executive of the company where I have been working . As he was late, I was looking for him. I saw two men were clinging on the side of a high-rise building .When I looked closely I realised that they were cleaning the building glass. I was admirably looking at there daredevil work and wondering about their courage. Both of the workers were hanging on a rope which would protect them in case they lost their balance.
   I often read about workers dying after falling from under-construction high-rise building when they were working without taking proper protection . Lately, such accidents have become more frequent, contruction companies have the responsibility to make sure that their workers are taking enough precaution to avoid such unwanted and regretful incident.I have seen in construction sites workers working without safety helmet and other necessary safety gears. According to an NGO report , at least 388 workers died in 2011 in workplace-related accident across Bangladesh. I don't know how many workers become disabled due to not taking proper precaution. It is high time the authorities took the matter into serious consideration and implement the necessary 'safety first' rule . We always remember and remind others that 'Better a thousands times careful than once dead' and 'Know safety , no injury. No safety, know injury.'
