Safety Violation..!!

Yesterday was an embarrassing day for me. Just to give an idea, in the works area of Tata Steel, safety is a very very serious issue. There is a separate 'code of conduct' written on safety; lot of work done to categorize unsafe acts, unsafe conditions etc. Whatever it may appear while reading, it really commands respect and attention in terms of the positivity, the people as a team show here. They may reflect the negative motivation aspect also at times, but the risk of violation is too costly to be taken..!
Our office is about 8 km from Bistupur (name of an area) Entry Gate inside the Works. We prefer another gate (National Material Laboratory Gate) to enter which leaves just about 1.5 km distance to be traversed inside the company. This not only makes us feel secure of unknown violations but also shields us from the the <=35 km/hour speed constraint for a considerable fraction of total distance we travel.
In the evening yesterday, I saw a mail lying in Inbox which was saying congrats to my colleague (cc to a lot of friends). I asked him what was it for, as my colleague had already left for a 10 day leave. He told me that our photograph was on Intranet..! He was caught violating safety rules not because of speed violation (the most common one) but for not tying his helmet's chin clip..!!Sitting on the back seat, I too was captured in the picture..
I recieved a heavy dose from my chief with not a word of sympathy in it but throughout asking for my commitment to not repeat it again, as if he had done the crime. I too was really feeling very bad about it.. I too was equally responsible for the unsafe "act "we" had displayed..
