Full lockout would have been more successful and effective if they had followed the PDCA cycle

As we saw people moving from place to place in the lockout.
Workers traveled in trucks, milk tankers, carts, bicycles and even transit mixers, risking their lives.
Some were not even going to see their condition. Because I am a security professional, my perspective is very different from looking at it and thinking about it.
I believe that such a situation would not have happened if the lockout was implemented properly.


 PLAN

If you wanted the entire country to have a lockout together, then you would first make a plan about it. There could have been some things in it. which are the following.
1. Central level meeting
2. Suggestions from states
3. Blue print for lock-down
4. Considering the time it takes for workers to return home
5. Scheme for execution of facilities for poor, weak
6. Intra-State Effective Transport System
7. Need of security forces
Least but not last "Effective Communication" to make people about all the steps taken by the government.

Do

 The plan was executed and implemented properly.
Check the number of people wants to travel from one place to another.
Provide number of trains ans buses for labor.
Basic need provided by local authorities like PDS centres
Facilitation of Doctors and healthcare worker.
make available of daily based product in all area.
The plan was executed and then it was monitored. If correction was needed at any point, it would be corrected immediately.

Check

 All the available resources is working or not.If correction was needed at any point, it would be corrected immediately. It would also have been important to continuously record the process of monitoring.
Analysis of each and every step taken in Plan and identify the what you have achieved and what needed improvement.
prepare a database accordingly to manage entire works.


Act

Based on the findings, Governments or authority should to improve their plan and take proper action.

The Hierarchy of Control

Image
The hierarchy starts with the controls perceived to be most effective and moves down to those considered least effective. It flows as follows: Elimination  – Physically remove the hazard Substitution  – Replace the hazard Engineering controls  – Isolate people from the hazard Administrative controls  – Change the way people work Personal protective equipment – Protect the worker by using PPE “You can’t eliminate every hazard, but the closer you can get to the top, the closer you can reach that ideal and make people healthier and safer,.           Hierarchy of Hazard Control  पदानुक्रम सबसे प्रभावी माना जाने वाले नियंत्रणों से शुरू होता है और कम से कम प्रभावी माना जाता है। यह इस प्रकार है: उन्मूलन - शारीरिक रूप से खतरे को हटा दें प्रतिस्थापन - खतरे को बदलें इंजीनियरिंग नियंत्रण - लोगों को खतरे से अलग करना प्रशासनिक नियंत्रण - लोगों के काम करने के तरीके को बदलें व्यक्तिगत सुरक्षा उपकरण- पीपीई का उपयोग करके कार्यकर्ता क...

Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle

Image
What is required at each stage of PLAN-DO-CHECK-ACT Or PDCA? We’ll have a look at the theory at each stage and then see how to use the principles in practice by introducing a new piece of equipment. PLAN This stage covers two key issues: planning for implementation and policy. It is all about the P’s – PLANNING and POLICY. Planning for implementation means identifying where we are now and then identifying where we want to be. For example, we could be looking at introducing a new piece of equipment into our workplace. So what should we be considering at this stage? How are we going to control the risks associated with this equipment? What is the most suitable equipment from a safety perspective? What emergency procedures need to be put in place? What are the training requirements? Is any personal protective equipment required? During this stage we should also make sure that we are meeting the requirements of our organisation’s Health and Safety Policy. ...

DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS OF ACCIDENTS

Image
Direct Costs are just the tip of the iceberg. Direct, or insured costs for accidents are usually considered those costs covered by workers compensation insurance and other minor medical costs for the accident. The company pays insurance to cover these costs. The average direct costs depend on the nature of the injury or illness, but usually range from $1,000 to $20,000. A good round figure to use when estimating all lost time workplace injuries is $10,000. Of course, the more accidents, the higher the insurance. Indirect costs....what they can do to your company. Indirect costs are all the "uninsured" additional costs associated with an accident. What is important to realize is that indirect costs are usually much greater than direct costs: From 2-10 times as expensive. Another important point is that, unlike direct costs, indirect costs are uninsured...they come right out of the corporate pocketbook. These are the costs that can drive a company into the red. The NS...
