• All-resources in this world can be classified in two parts only-Dead and Live Resources. All elements, compounds, minerals, metals, non-metals and all material things that are not alive, are called Dead Resources. All living creature including human being are live Resources. All dead resources are invented, produced and used by the live resources. If there is no live resources, there is no important of any dead resource. However, haphazard generation and use of dead resources have created a great threat to the live resources and therefore a question of safety has been arisen.
• Now, a question arises – Out of dead and live resource, which is more important? Out of man and machine who is more important, machine or its creator a man? All raw materials to be processed in industries are dead raw materials with few exceptions like killing of animal or generation of live culture for fermentation etc. But most of the raw materials like metal, non-metal, important to run the industry for producing goods and services needed for the mankind. But can they alone run the industries? And after all they are for whom? They are produced and processed for whom? And by whom? The simple reply brings before us a man-the live and real resources for the world, industry and any activity. It is the man behind machine who operators it and who has made that machine and who also repairs and maintains.
• it is the human being only who has invented the dead raw material, their uses, machines processes products and utility for various purposes. If he is absent, the dead raw material are of no use. Therefore it is obviously inferred that the live resources, the human beings, are more important than the dead resources. Therefore we must pay more attention on these live resources. That is why the Safety, Health and Welfare of people are considered to be of prime importance and we must never forget them. The dead raw materials are not for the destruction of mankind. The wise people always oppose such misuse. The contact of man and machine, man and material, man and environment must be safe.
• We are also worried that hazards are being shipped overseas. Dangerous raw materials and discarded plants of developed countries-because safety and health conditions are laxer here? These dangerous dead resources are causing threats to the live resources that have to run these plants.
Now
days the importance of human resource is increasing worldwide. That is why we
found Human Resource (HR) Department in industries. The basic object of HRD is
to pay more attention and refine human resources. These human or live resources
can be developed (refined) only when they are protected from the dangers of
dead resources. This protection is nothing but the Concept of Safety.
