Right Against Wrong - TAPMI

This is a story of that time, when I was doing job in a Private Ltd. Company. The company is on a decent position in wind energy sector. I was the site Incharge at that time and the safety and operational responsibility of my team which consisted of 18  members was on my shoulders. During our training days we were taught that no job should be carried out when the wind speed is more than  15m/s , but when I joined my respective site this was not the condition. The blue coloured employees were forced to restore the machine fault in spite of prevailing high wind speed. Working is such condition is very risky safety point of view, due to thunderstorm and high wind velocity there is a risk of high voltage electric shock or an accident which could be fatal. As soon as I took the charge of that Site forced the employees not to climb the machine in such scenario. The productivity of that month felt drastically due to that decision and my manager issued me a warning letter inspite of explaining him the rational behind my decision. I then went to head office and met the DGM of Safety and Security department and explained him the entire scenario. I also met our trainers and took their inputs. After consequent meetings with them a group meeting was organized which included me, my manager, client manager and the Head of Safety and Security dept. My manager accepted that he was under the pressure of clients due to less productivity and used to force blue coloured employee to work in risky work condition. After the meeting he was dismissed with immediate effect and I was promoted to AREA SAFETY MANAGER.
