Safety review an important job in Engineering Management

Last week has gone by very fast, there were some long tiring days with meetings, some commitments, some new issues which came up and were unexpected, but it gives satisfaction when few things important are achieved for the sake of the  company, its operating personnel working somewhere else.

Safety review with our HSE team was an important job done by our team to ensure that some operating personnel, somewhere working in a different country where our group operates, will work in a safe environment and to the extent possible don't make avoidable mistakes while working.



As I learnt when I was a young engineer in the maintenance field, accidents often have some of the reasons below:

1. Unsafe Condition

2. Unsafe Act

3. Both unsafe condition and unsafe act.

As a part of the engineering management team, my job is to ensure a better plant layout abiding by the rules and regulations in force as well as to ensure safe operating conditions which means to ensure that no unsafe condition exists in an industrial plant.

Loving Windows 10 Mobile for its great compatibility and Universal Apps despite the App-gap

I have been using Windows 10 on my Lumia smartphones for the last 6 months. I'm very much impressed with the hard work done by Microsoft. First Windows phone I used was with Windows 8 which was a bit different and difficult compared to Windows 8.1. However coming from Blackberry Curve 9300, it was a great welcome OS. The Windows 8.1 stole the show with very fluid, stylish and simple design. Windows 10 mobile started off with lot of bugs and hits and misses, but that is how any development work happens. The difference is that Microsoft chose to provide these builds for public use if they join the 'Windows Insider' program. I became an insider and have been enjoying Windows 10 since then. At first, after a few days of experiencing the builds I switched back to Windows 8.1 considering that I had only one Lumia then and I was using it for the office work. As the Windows Insider program states that those risks shall be 'understood' and the primary phone is ...

My opinion about Work From Home (WFH) before and after COVID 19

Work From Home (WFH) was a good option prior to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. As my company gave this option during early 2019, we were occasionally using it and I was also enjoying that once in a while. It was suggested for 4 days in a month, meaning with proper understanding with the manager, it could be utilized once in every week.  I was personally wishing to have more days for WFH because I was getting interrupted very often when I sit at my desk in office. Main problem is that many people believe that multi-tasking is a great skill. But very few wise people realize that multi-tasking is such a waste of time. Because the focus of brain can't be on too many things at the same time.  People at work, working in various project teams shall realize, that we all can collectively do greater work, valuable at that, only when we are free of distractions. Of course, some of the tasks can be done in parallel. For example, while you work out at gym, or go for a walk or a jog outsid...

Belief in your Potential leads to bigger Actions and greater Results

I happened to watch a video of Tony Robbins on Youtube in which he was explaining a seemingly simple but great concept. It was some sort of eye opener to many of us. In that video some of Tony's friends who were already successful in their lives on their personal fronts come to seek the advice of Robbins owing to his expertise in understand human nature, psychology and success. So after listening to their concerns, Tony makes an awesome modeling of the situation in just 4 words. This is so incredible considering the fact that many of us know these things but we don't realize the power behind this basic understanding and the correlation among them. These are 4 things here and we need to understand how each of these things depends on the other and influences another.
