MAY DAY AND SAFETY IN WORK PLACE.

As we know 1st May is observed as "Worker's Day".Many things are told and many lectures are delivered as usual to be forgotten towards the evening.As a surgeon in a Port Trust, a labor oriented organization I have to manage the work site injury cases.I find a good number of injuries are due no use of safety protections/precautionary measures.The most common being no use of shoes, hand gloves and the top most is lack of attentiveness.Though strict measures are taken by the organization for the use of those items somehow they manage not to use those.
     So important is self consciousness in the part of the workers.
            Having said this ,I remind that this day is primarily observed for victory of workers in limiting their working hours to 8 hours a day.I think there are sectors where it is better said than followed e.g. software professionals in MNCs and some private sector organizations.
   The watchdogs are there but are knowing ignorant.The politicians infamous for their speeches only hardly have a truthful desire to do anything concrete.
