National Safety Week

March 4-11, 2013
The National Safety Week is observed every year from March 4-11 and has assumed the importance of a major national campaign. It is widely celebrated to create consciousness and renew commitment to health, safety and environment. This day also accentuates the significance of safety in all spheres of life, so as to avert mishap and accident resulting out of neglect or lack of awareness. At Amtek, safety has always been at the core of our business. In view of the rising trend of industrial accidents in the country, the Labour Ministers Conference in its 22nd session in 1962 recommended that a conference on safety in factories should be convened and the question of setting up the National Safety Council for conducting a campaign on accident prevention should be considered. The recommendation of the conference was approved by the 24th session of the standing Labour Committee, which met on February 13-14, 1966 at New Delhi under the chairmanship of Late Shri Jagjivan Ram (at that time he was the Union Minister), and the proposal concerning the constitution of the National Safety Council (NSC) was set up on March 4, 1966 by the Ministry. Subsequently, it was decided that March 4, should be commemorated as the National Safety Day every year in the form of national awareness campaign. Since 1972, the National Safety Day is celebrated every year to reiterate the importance of safety and to create an awareness campaign throughout the country.

Enjoy the Coffee

A group of alumni who were highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university lecturer. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said, If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was the coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each others cups. Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, but the quality of life doesnt change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it. So folks, dont let the cups drive you... Enjoy the coffee instead.
