Actions in case of fire in the apartment, house

About 80% of people dying in a fire are victims of poisoning by toxic products of combustion and thermal decomposition of substances and materials.

In most cases, people on fires, especially children, do not die from high temperatures, but from acrid smoke, saturated with toxic products of burning familiar and useful things in everyday life. Even one breath of hot air can lead to paralysis of the respiratory tract and a tragic outcome. In addition, a person gets severe burns.

Rules of conduct in case of fire

  •   If you come out of the apartment into the staircase, you are caught in thick smoke, you should immediately return to the apartment. Close the door tightly behind you, plug the door openings and vents with wet rags.
  • With a strong filling of the room with smoke, go to the side of the smoke-free staircase, or to the exit. It is strictly forbidden to use the elevator during a fire.
  • If the fire spreads in a small room, do not open windows and doors: access of fresh air and draft will increase the flame.
  • If the fire is small, then try to cover the flame on top with something (a blanket, rug, coat) and then pour it with water. Do not pull burning objects out of the fire: it only contributes to the spread of fire. To extinguish water or sand, start from the edges, moving to the center.
  • In case of fire, furniture must be especially careful, since modern furniture made of synthetic materials is very toxic when ignited. No need to put burning furniture on the balcony, because fresh air will only increase the burning. Do not attempt to cover the furniture with a wet, thick cloth or flood it with water if the fire is already large. In this case, immediately leave the apartment and call firefighters.

Actions when detecting the smell of gas

If it happened during the day, then:

  • in no case can not turn on electrical appliances or use an open flame;
  • immediately close the gas valve and close the taps of the stove or gas column valve;
  • to ventilate the room open windows or vents, open the front door; all leave the premises and call the gas emergency service.

If this happened in the evening and you have includedlighting, TV and other electrical appliances, they can not be turned off, because when they are turned off, there will be a spark in a socket or switch that can cause a gas explosion.

To eliminate the possibility of gas leakage

  • before operating the gas furnace and cylinder, undergo safety instructions from specialists, get a document for the right to operate gas appliances;
  • do not allow children or persons who do not know how to handle these devices to gas appliances;
  • do not store gas bottles in garages, apartments, on balconies;
  • fill gas cylinders only in specialized points;
  • do not independently connect or disconnect gas stoves in apartments;
  • do not use gas stoves to heat the apartment;
  • observe the sequence of switching on gas appliances: first light a match, and then open the gas supply;
  • leaving the house, do not forget to turn off the gas stove and turn off the valve on the cylinder;
  • in case of gas leakage do not light matches, do not smoke, do not turn on the light and electrical appliances;
  • if there is a smell of gas, immediately turn off the gas stove, turn off the gas supply valve, ventilate the room and call gas service workers by calling “104” or firefighters and rescuers by calling “101”.

Actions in case of damage and lack of lighting

  • Call the District Electricity Dispatcher
  • If you find a broken or damaged wire, do not come closer than 10 meters to it, so as not to fall under the step voltage
  • Try to protect the place of the break of the electric wire, and in the dark of the day stay on duty until the arrival of the emergency brigade of RES
  • If the wire falls into standing water (puddle), dry stick or other insulating object, remove it to a dry place.
  • To illuminate a room or a dangerous area, use flashlights, kerosene lamps, and other available tools.
  • It is forbidden to troubleshoot the power itself.
  • When an electric shock is detected, free it from the effects of electricity, use any dielectric object (for example, a dry stick)
  • Give the victim first aid and inform the ambulance service by calling "103"
  • Organize the scene of the accident before the arrival of specialists of RES, do not allow children to come close, try to limit the stay of people in a dangerous place.
  • Actions in case of damage to the water supply system, heating system, sewage system
  • In the case when the apartment is flooded with water, immediately inform the dispatching service. Phone numbers of services must be recorded in advance.
  • Notify neighbors about the incident
  • Try to use your existing tanks to collect water.
  • Try to find out the place and sources of the accident, and, in the absence of a threat to your life, isolate them by performing a temporary repair: put a bandage on, tighten or tighten the gap, etc.
  • Arrange for the children and the elderly to leave the premises, carry out the sick if they cannot move.
  • Remove carpets and other water-absorbing materials from floors.
  • Prepare passes to the accident zone to quickly move emergency workers, tell them the exact location and source of the incident.
  • Remember, the earlier you report an emergency situation to the appropriate emergency service, the less will be its consequences.

Actions upon detection of explosive devices

If you have found some kind of package, box or package, and they seem suspicious to you, and also if you see wires, batteries, mechanical or electronic watches in these items, and if all this is wrapped with tape or electrical tape, you can say with great certainty that you found an explosive device.

Throw, saw or independently disassemble these items in no case be impossible. It is necessary to move away from the dangerous find by warning people standing nearby and immediately call the law enforcement agencies and the Emergency Situations Ministry on the numbers 102 and 101.

When traveling in public transport, pay attention to the left bags, briefcases, convolutions, toys and other unattended objects that may contain improvised explosive devices. Do not open them, do not touch them, warn people standing nearby about possible danger. Immediately inform the driver, any police officer.

Entering the staircase, pay attention to strangers and unfamiliar objects. As a rule, an explosive device in a building is laid in the basements, on the first floors, near the refuse chutes, under the stairs. Be alert and attentive. If unknown objects or suspicious persons are found, call the law enforcement operational duty officer and the Emergencies Ministry on the telephone numbers "102" and "101".

If the thermometer broke

If the thermometer has broken it is necessary: ​​Take the people to another room, open the window for airing. Collect balls of mercury (you can wet paper napkin, bread crumb) and throw them into a glass jar of water. Do not use a vacuum cleaner! The jar needs to be tightly closed with a lid, and the materials with which mercury was collected must be tightly packed in a plastic bag. Then it is necessary to carry out wet cleaning of the room in which the thermometer has broken. For processing use soap-soda solution (400 grams of soap and half a kilogram of soda ash or baking soda per 10 liters of water). After wet cleaning, it is necessary to air this room for two to three days.

The collected mercury must be taken to the nearest fire emergency and rescue unit, where mercury and mercury-containing devices from the population are received.

Actions in case of a building collapse

The collapse of buildings is a mortal danger to people who are both internally and externally. The main problem is that the hulling occurs in most cases suddenly and very swiftly.

The first signs of the destruction of buildings can be: sudden cracks in the walls, floor and ceiling; vibration; signs of explosion or mechanical shock.

In this situation, it is necessary to remember that the exit from the multi-storey building will take a lot of time. At the slightest signs of collapse, it is necessary to hide in those places where the defeat of debris is least likely. Such places in the building include window and door openings, the corners formed by capital (bearing) walls. At the same time, children should be pressed against themselves, protecting them from possible injuries. Moving in a dilapidated building is extremely dangerous, since its destruction can continue at any time. Therefore, if possible, it is better to attract the attention of the participants to the shouts and expect help. You should also not return to the destroyed house in search of property and documents. A safe distance from a collapsing building is considered to be a distance equal to its height.

The actions of the victim, who was under the rubble of the building:

Try not to lose heart. Take it easy. Breathe deeply and evenly. Tune in to the fact that rescuers will save you soon. With voice and knock, attract the attention of people. If you are deep under the rubble of the building, move any metal object (ring, keys, etc.) to the left to the right to find you with a direction finder or dog handlers. If the space around you is relatively free, do not light matches or a lighter. Take care of oxygen. Move carefully, trying not to cause a new landslide, orient yourself by the movement of air coming in from the outside. If you have the opportunity, with the help of available items (boards, bricks, etc.) strengthen the ceiling from collapse and wait for help. If you have a strong thirst, put a small pebble in your mouth and suck it, breathing with your nose. In case of injury, move as little as possible - this will reduce blood loss.

Rules of conduct and actions of the population in natural emergencies

Flood

Flooding - this is a significant flooding of the area as a result of rising water levels in the river, lake or sea during the period of snowmelt, heavy rains, wind surges, congestion, zazhora, etc. Floods caused by wind surge in river mouths are a special type. Floods lead to the destruction of bridges, roads, buildings, structures, cause significant material damage, and at high speeds of water movement (more than 4 m / s) and high elevation of water (more than 2 m) cause the death of people and animals.

The main cause of damage is the impact on buildings and structures of hydraulic impacts of a mass of water, ice floes floating at high speed, various debris, floating craft, etc. Flooding can occur suddenly and last from several hours to 2-3 weeks.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR FLOOD

If your area often suffers from floods, study and remember the limits of possible flooding, as well as elevated, rarely flooded places located in close proximity to the places of residence, the shortest paths to them. Familiarize family members with the rules of conduct for organized and individual evacuation, as well as in case of sudden and rapidly developing flooding. Memorize the storage of boats, rafts and building materials for their manufacture. Make a list of documents, property and medicines taken out during evacuation in advance. Put in a special suitcase or backpack valuables, necessary warm clothes, food supplies, water and medicines.

HOW TO WORK DURING FLOOD

At the signal of warning about the threat of flooding and evacuation without delay, in the prescribed manner, exit (exit) from the danger zone of possible catastrophic flooding to a designated safe area or to elevated areas, terrain, taking with you documents, valuables, necessary things and a two-day supply of non-perishable foodstuffs . At the final point of evacuation register.

Before leaving the house, turn off the electricity and gas, turn off the fire in the heating stoves, fix all floating objects outside the buildings, or place them in the back rooms. If time permits, move valuable household items to the upper floors or to the attic of a residential building. Close windows and doors; if necessary and available, hammer the windows and doors of the first floors outside with boards (shields). In the absence of an organized evacuation, you are on the upper floors and on the roofs of the buildings, on trees or other towering objects until help arrives or the water falls. At the same time, constantly give a distress signal: in the daytime - by hanging out or waving with a clearly visible cloth attached to the pole, and in the dark - with a light signal and periodically with a voice. At the approach of the rescuers, calmly, without panic and fuss, with the observance of precautionary measures, transfer to the swimming craft. At the same time, strictly observe the requirements of rescuers, do not overload the boats. While driving, do not leave the seats, do not sit on the boards, strictly follow the requirements of the crew.

It is recommended to independently get out of the flooded area only if there are such serious reasons as the need to provide medical assistance to the injured, the continued rise in the water level, and the threat of flooding of the upper floors (attic). It is necessary to have a reliable swimming tool and know the direction of movement. During self-nomination, do not stop giving a distress call. Help people swimming in water and drowning.

IF THINS MAN

Throw a floating object to a sinking person, encourage him, call for help. Getting to the victim by swimming, consider the flow of the river. If the drowning person does not control his actions, swim up to him from behind and, grabbing him by the hair, tow him to the shore.

HOW TO ACTION AFTER FLOOD

Before you enter the building, check to see if it is threatened by the collapse or fall of an object. Air the building (to remove accumulated gases). Do not turn on the electric lighting, do not use sources of open fire, do not light matches until full ventilation of the room and checking the operability of the gas supply system. Check the good electrical wiring, gas supply pipelines, plumbing and sewage. Do not use them until you are sure that they are working with the help of specialists. To dry the premises, open all doors and windows, remove dirt from the floor and walls, and siphon water from the basements. Do not eat foods that have been in contact with water. Organize the cleaning of wells from the applied dirt and remove water from them.

Ice

Ice is a layer of dense ice formed on the surface of the earth, sidewalks, the roadway and on objects (trees, wires, etc.) when freezing supercooled rain and drizzle (fog) occurs. Usually, ice is observed at air temperatures from 0 ° C to minus 3 ° C. The crust of frozen ice can reach several centimeters.

Ice is a thin layer of ice on the surface of the earth, formed after a thaw or rain as a result of a cold snap, as well as freezing sleet and raindrops.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE HOLOBOLIER

If an ice or icy condition is reported in the weather forecast, take steps to reduce the chance of injury. Prepare non-slip shoes, attach metal heels or foam rubber to heels, and put adhesive tape or insulating tape on a dry sole, you can rub the soles with sand (sandpaper).

HOW TO ACT IN THE TIME OF THE NAVEL (GOLODELITS)

Move carefully, without haste, stepping on the entire sole. In this case, the legs should be slightly relaxed, hands free. Elderly people are encouraged to use a cane with a rubber tip or a special stick with pointed spikes. If you slipped, sit down to lower the height of the fall. At the time of the fall, try to group, and, rolling over, soften the blow to the ground. Ice is often accompanied by icing. In this case, pay special attention to the wires of power lines, contact networks of electric transport. If you see broken wires, inform the administration of the settlement about the place of the cliff.

HOW TO ACT IN ACQUISITION OF INJURY

Call a trauma or emergency room. Issue a newsletter or injury certificate that you can use when you go to court at your place of residence or at the place of your injury with a claim for damages.

Frostbite

Frostbite is damage to any part of the body (including death) under the influence of low temperatures. Frostbite most often occurs in cold wintertime at ambient temperatures below -10 ° C to -20 ° C. With prolonged exposure outdoors, especially with high humidity and strong winds, frostbite can be obtained in the fall and spring when the air temperature is above zero.

Close and wet clothes and shoes, physical overwork, hunger, a forced prolonged immobile and uncomfortable position, preceding cold injury, weakening of the body as a result of illness, sweating feet, chronic vascular diseases of the lower extremities and the cardiovascular system, severe mechanical damage with blood loss, smoking, etc.

Statistics show that almost all severe frostbite that led to the amputation of limbs, occurred in a state of severe intoxication.

First aid for frostbite

Actions in the provision of first aid vary depending on the degree of frostbite, the presence of general cooling of the body, age and associated diseases.

First aid is to stop cooling, warming the limb, restore blood circulation in the affected tissues and prevent infection. The first thing to do with signs of frostbite is to deliver the victim to the nearest warm room, remove frozen shoes, socks, and gloves. Simultaneously with the conduct of first aid measures, it is necessary to urgently call a doctor, an ambulance to provide medical assistance.

When frostbite I degree chilled areas should be warmed to reddening with warm hands, light massage, rubbing with wool, breathing, and then apply a cotton-gauze bandage.

When frostbite II-IV degree quick warming, massage or rubbing should not be done. Apply a heat-insulating bandage to the affected surface (gauze layer, thick layer of cotton wool, again a layer of gauze, and on top of the oilcloth or rubberized fabric). The affected limbs are fixed with the help of available tools (a plate, a piece of plywood, thick cardboard), imposing and pinning them over the dressing. As a heat-insulating material, you can use quilted jackets, sweatshirts, wool fabric, etc.

Victims are given a hot drink, hot food, a small amount of alcohol, an aspirin, dipyrone tablet, 2 tablets of No-spa, and papaverine.

It is not recommended to rub patients with snow, because the blood vessels of the hands and feet are very fragile and therefore their damage is possible, and the resulting microfees on the skin contribute to the introduction of infection. You can not use the quick warming of frostbitten limbs around the fire, use heating pads and other similar heat sources uncontrollably, as this affects the frostbite. An unacceptable and ineffective first aid option is the rubbing of oils, fat, rubbing alcohol on tissues with deep frostbite.

With a general cooling of a slight degree, a rather effective method is to warm the affected person in a warm bath at an initial water temperature of 24 ° C, which is increased to normal body temperature.

In case of moderate and severe general cooling with impaired breathing and blood circulation, the victim must be taken to hospital as soon as possible.

Prevention of hypothermia and frostbite

There are a few simple rules that will allow you to avoid hypothermia and frostbite in bitter cold:

  • Do not drink alcohol - alcohol intoxication (however, like any other) actually causes a great loss of heat, at the same time causing the illusion of heat. An additional factor is the inability to focus on signs of frostbite.
  • Do not smoke in the cold - smoking reduces peripheral blood circulation, and thus makes the limbs more vulnerable.
  • Wear loose clothing - this promotes normal blood circulation. Dress like “cabbage” - while between layers of clothing there is always a layer of air that perfectly holds heat. Outerwear must be waterproof.
  • Tight shoes, lack of insoles, raw dirty socks are often the main reason for the appearance of scuffs and frostbite. Particular attention should be paid to shoes for those who often sweat feet. In the boots you need to put warm insoles, and wear cotton socks instead of cotton socks - they absorb moisture, leaving your feet dry.
  • Do not go in the frost without mittens, hats and scarves. The best option - mittens from a water-repellent and windless fabric with fur inside. Gloves from natural materials, though comfortable, do not save from frost. Cheeks and chin can be protected with a scarf. In windy cold weather, before going outside, rub open areas of the body with a special cream.
  • Do not wear metal (including gold, silver) jewelry in the cold - rings, earrings, etc. First, the metal cools much faster than the body to low temperatures, as a result of which "sticking" to the skin with painful sensations and cold injuries is possible. Secondly, the rings on the fingers impede the normal circulation of blood. Generally in the cold try to avoid contact of bare skin with metal.
  • Use the help of a friend - watch your friend's face, especially your ears, nose and cheeks, any noticeable changes in color, and he or she will watch yours.
  • Do not allow frostbite to freeze again - this will cause much more significant skin damage.
  • Do not remove shoes in frost from frost-bitten limbs - they swell up and you will not be able to put on shoes again. It is necessary to reach the warm room as soon as possible. If your hands are frozen - try to warm them under the arms.
  • After returning home after a long walk in the frost, be sure to ensure that there are no frostbite of the limbs, back, ears, nose, etc. Frostbite, released on gravity, can lead to gangrene and subsequent loss of limbs.
  • As soon as during the walk you feel hypothermia or freezing of the extremities, it is necessary as soon as possible to go to any warm place - shop, cafe, entrance - to warm and inspect places potentially vulnerable to frostbite.
  • If you have a stalled car away from a populated area or in an unfamiliar area, it is better to stay in the car, call for help by phone or wait for another car to pass by on the way.
  • Hide from the wind - the probability of frostbite in the wind is much higher.
  • Do not wet the skin - water conducts heat much better than air. Do not go out into the cold with wet hair after a shower. Wet clothes and shoes (for example, a person fell into the water) must be removed, wiped off, if possible put on dry clothes and as soon as possible bring the person to heat. In the forest, it is necessary to kindle a fire, undress and dry clothes, during this time vigorously doing physical exercises and basking in the fire.
  • It can be useful for a long walk in the cold to take along a pair of interchangeable socks, mittens and a thermos with hot tea. Before you go out in the cold you need to eat - you may need energy.
  • It should be borne in mind that in children the thermoregulation of the body is not yet fully tuned, and in the elderly and in some diseases this function is impaired. These categories are more prone to hypothermia and frostbite, and this should be considered when planning a walk. Letting the child go for a walk in the cold outside, remember that it is desirable for him to return to the heat and warm up every 15-20 minutes.

Finally, remember that the best way to get out of an unpleasant situation is not to fall into it. If you do not like extreme sensations, in a hard frost try not to leave the house without special need.

How to act during a hurricane

If the hurricane caught you in the building, move away from the windows and take a safe place near the walls of the interior, in the hallway, near the built-in wardrobes, in the bathrooms, toilet, storerooms, in solid wardrobes, under the tables. Extinguish the fire in the stoves, turn off the electricity, close the taps on the gas networks. At night, use lights, lamps, candles; turn on the radio for information of the Civil Defense and Emergency Management Department and the emergency commission; if possible, you are in the shelter, in shelters, cellars, etc.

If the hurricane caught you on the streets of the village, keep as far as possible from light buildings, buildings, bridges, racks, power lines, masts, trees, rivers, lakes and industrial facilities. To protect against flying debris and glass fragments, use sheets of plywood, cardboard and plastic boxes, boards and other improvised means. Try to quickly hide in basements, cellars and anti-radiation shelters, located in settlements. Do not enter damaged buildings, as they may collapse with new gusts of wind. When a snowstorm take cover in buildings.

If you find yourself in a field or on a country road, go to the main roads, which are periodically cleared and where there is a high probability of helping you. In case of a dust storm, cover your face with a gauze bandage, a scarf, a piece of cloth, and your eyes with glasses. When a signal of approaching a tornado arrives, you must immediately descend into a shelter, basement or cellar, or take refuge under a bed and other durable furniture. If a hurricane catches you in an open area, take cover at the bottom of a road ditch, in holes, ditches, narrow ravines, tightly clinging to the ground, covering your head with clothes or tree branches. Do not stay in the car, get out of it and take cover as indicated above.

Thunderstorm Rules

Characteristic signs of an approaching thunderstorm:

  1. the rapid and rapid development in the second half of the day of powerful, dark cumulonimbus clouds in the form of mountain ranges with tops-anvils;
  2. a sharp decrease in atmospheric pressure and air temperature;
  3. exhausting breathlessness;
  4. calm in nature, the appearance of veil in the sky;
  5. good and distinct audibility of distant sounds;
  6. the approaching rumble of thunder;
  7. bright flashes of lightning.

Behavior rules:

  1. To reduce the likelihood of being struck by lightning, the human body should have as little contact with the ground as possible. The safest position is considered to be the following: crouch, put your feet together, lower your head and chest to your knees and forearms, clasp your knees with your hands.
  2. You can sit down or stand on the insulating material: a log, board, stone, tent, sleeping bag, rope, backpack.
  3. Do not settle down during a thunderstorm near a reinforced concrete canvas, near a reservoir, near a high-altitude object without a lightning conductor.
  4. Do not touch your head, back or other body parts with the surface of rocks, tree trunks, metal structures.
  5. In the zone of relative safety, take a dry place at a distance of 1.5–2 meters from high objects: a tree, a rock, a power transmission tower.
  6. Do not stay close to electrical appliances, wiring, metal objects, do not touch them with your hands, do not be located near the lightning protection ground.
  7. Go around a piece of land where lightning has hit, or wait a few minutes when electricity is dissipated.
  8. During thunderstorms, try to keep clothes and body dry.
  9. Immediately call firefighters and rescuers in the event of a fire from a lightning strike, try to eliminate it on your own.
  10. Help the victims.

Forest fires

The vast majority of forest fires occur due to the careless handling of people with fire or their violation of fire safety requirements when working and resting in the forest. Statistics claim that in 9 out of 10 cases, the culprit of forest fires is man.

On weekends, the number of fires in the forest reaches 40 percent of their number per week; in the 10-kilometer zone around the settlements, the most visited by the population, up to 93 percent of all fires occur.

Being in the forest it is necessary to remember that the danger of a forest fire from an insignificant source of fire is quite real, especially in dry, warm, windy times.

Natural factors that may result in a forest fire are dry thunderstorms, spontaneous combustion of forest trash, etc.

When a forest fire is detected in or near the forest litter, litter, rags, logging remains, the main task is to prevent the fire from gathering strength and spreading. To do this, extinguish the fire, carefully inspect the place of burning and make sure that there are no burning areas left. In cases where it is not possible to extinguish the fire on your own, you must report the fire to the forest guard, local government or the police.

When extinguishing fires in the forest, the most common method is to fire on the edge of a fire. Green branches are used for sweeping. Effectively throwing the edge of the fire with soil that cools burning materials and deprives them of air access.

During extinguishing, it is necessary to follow fire safety rules and be firmly aware that during high forest fires, when tree crowns are burning, the banks of reservoirs, large glades, deciduous forest without coniferous undergrowth can serve as a shelter. You should not seek shelter on roads and glades surrounded by coniferous forests, especially youngsters with lowered crowns, as well as in logs overgrown with forests.

Due to the fact that the majority of forest fires arise from open fires, it is better not to incite them in dry, warm and windy weather. But if the need arises, it is necessary to follow simple rules. It is necessary to kindle fires on specially designated places. If there is no such place, it can be prepared on sandy and pebble spit along the banks of rivers and lakes, on forest roads, in quarries, on old campfires, on lawns and glades covered with green grass. It is necessary around the fire, on a strip not less than 0.5 meters wide, to remove everything that can burn and cause the spread of fire. It is desirable that there is water near the fire, as well as branches for engulfing the flame in case of burning. It is not necessary to kindle a fire near the trees, because from this they die or, at best, weaken or reduce growth, are colonized by insects - pests. Try not to kindle fires under the crowns of spruce, fir, cedar, usually with lowered crowns, as well as in the coniferous youngsters, as the needles are an excellent combustible material. Avoid placing fires near hollow trees - they are dangerous in terms of fire. It is unacceptable to kindle fires in old logging sites, areas of damaged forest, that is, in areas with a large amount of dry combustible materials. In these cases, even a small spark is enough to create a smoldering, unnoticed source of ignition nearby. The burning of wood in open areas is always very strong. In dry weather and in the wind, burning branches, leaves, coals are transferred to tens of meters.

When visiting the forest should stop smoking. But if you lit it, you need to know that it is dangerous, especially in coniferous plantations, where there is little green grass and during the day last year's needles, lichens, grass, small twigs and other plant waste dries up. Therefore, it is better to smoke in specially designated places or areas suitable for making fires and smoking. Smoking in the woods on the go should not be, because there is always the danger of automatic throwing in the direction of a burning match or cigarette butt, and as a result of this - a fire, about which its culprit may not suspect.

Forest discipline, conscious behavior and strict observance of simple fire safety rules will guarantee the saving of forests from fires. It is in the interests of each of us.

Rules of behavior on the water

Most often accidents on the water are associated with swimming in not equipped places, boating and other boats.

  • In urban waters, it is dangerous to swim in untested places, and especially to jump from improvised towers. Therefore, going to swim, especially if you have small children, do not be too lazy to check the condition of the bottom
  • It is forbidden to swim beyond the fence (buoys) indicating the water boundaries between the water area and the place intended for swimming
  • Drinking and bathing is strictly prohibited because the chances of drowning are many times increased.
  • It is not recommended to arrange games on the water with diving under each other, to grab the legs and hands
  • Do not try to swim across rivers, lakes, because you can not calculate your strength
  • In no case do not leave unattended near the open water of young children. They can drown instantly. Be near them even in shallow water

In order to avoid an accident on the water, you must:

  • Use the equipped beaches. If not, determine a permanent place for swimming by checking it in terms of safety.
  • Learn to swim
  • Before you make a long swim, learn to relax on the water, lying on your back and "float"
  • Jump off cliffs and random towers without checking the bottom
  • Swim for buoys or try to swim across reservoirs
  • Float to the shipping channel
  • Drunk while drunk
  • Arrange dangerous games in the water
  • Long swim in cold water
  • Sail away from the coast on inflatable mattresses and circles, if you can not swim
  • While in boats, DANGER - change, board the ship, overload the boat above the established standard, ride near locks, dams, in the middle of the fairway of the river
  • Do not leave children unattended near water
  • Allow children to swim in unfamiliar places, especially jumping from cliffs
  • Allow children to swim far
  • Go into the water without inflatable circles and further than to the waist if the child does not know how to swim

Behavior on ice

Under the spring sunshine, the ice on the reservoirs becomes loose and not durable. At this time, to go out on its surface is extremely dangerous. However, every year many people neglect precautionary measures and go out onto thin spring ice, thereby putting their lives in mortal danger.

It is necessary to know:

Ice is considered safe for humans to be at least 10 cm thick in fresh water and 15 cm in salt water;
. ice strength is weakened in estuaries and tributaries of rivers, fast-flowing places, spouting keys, runoff waters, areas of growth of aquatic vegetation, trees, bushes and reeds;
  . if the air temperature stays above 0ºС for more than three days, then the ice strength decreases by 25%;
  . ice strength can be determined visually: blue ice is durable, white strength is two times less, gray, matte white or with
  . yellowish tint ice unreliable.

What to do if you fell into the water:

Do not panic, do not make sudden movements, stabilize breathing; Spread your arms to the side, and try to cling to the edge of the ice, giving the body a horizontal position in the direction of the flow;
  . try to gently chest down on the edge of the ice and throw one and then the second legs on the ice;
  . if the ice held, rolling, slowly crawling to the shore;
  . crawling in the direction where you came from, because here the ice has already been tested for strength.

If you need your help:

Arm yourself with any long stick, board, pole, or rope. You can tie together scarves, belts or clothing;
  crawl along with arms and legs wide apart, pushing rescue equipment in front of you, gently move toward the polynya;
  . stop a person at a distance of several meters from a person in the water, throw a rope to him, the edge of clothes, give a stick or pole;
  . gently pull the victim onto the ice, and together crawl out of the danger zone;
  . crawl in the direction you came from;
  . Take the victim to a warm place. Help him: take off his clothes, vigorously rub the body (until the skin is red) moistened with cloth or hands soaked in alcohol, and give the victim some hot tea. In no case do not give alcohol to the victim, in such cases it can be fatal.

If you get lost in the forest

If you do not have a map and a compass in the forest, you can navigate by:

By the sun;
   - over the moon, stars;
   - according to the peculiarities of the local nature.

If you get lost in the forest and do not know how to navigate in it, then stop, sit down and think about how you get to the place from which you started the path. To do this, remember some bright landmark on your way (river, lake, railway) and try to remember the road to it.

Sounds will help you to find the way to the locality (barking of a dog, noise of a train or a tractor).

If there are no familiar landmarks and it is not possible to find them, climb on a tall tree. But this should be done only in extreme cases, as climbing a tree is much easier than going down from it. Forest and country roads, as well as trails in most cases lead to settlements.

Rules for tick bites

Ticks - spider-like creatures of a flat oval shape. They live in the grass, on trees and shrubs. They feed on the blood of humans and animals. Mites fall on the human body during its stay in nature. They bite the skin painlessly, suck and drink blood, while increasing to the size of a pea. Ticks are a danger to human health, as they are carriers of infectious diseases, including tick-borne encephalitis and typhoid.

The main precautionary measure is to use special repellent agents immediately before visiting the suburban areas and urban areas with the presence of vegetation. After returning, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the whole body, especially the armpits, the inguinal area for the presence of ticks.

If a tick is found on the human body, you can try to remove it yourself, but if you lack the skills in this, then it is better to contact a medical institution.

Use tweezers with thin ends to extract ticks. Before removing the tick, moisten it with vegetable oil or kerosene, then with a pair of tweezers, grab the head of the tick near the skin of the victim and, swaying, pull it out. In the case of the separation of the tick body from the head, it must be removed with a needle or pin. After extraction of the tick, the bite should be treated with iodine, brilliant green, alcohol, vodka. And in the near future to be vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis. A swelling occurs at the site of the bite, there is reddening of the skin, itching, which disappear after a few hours.

Ticks begin to show activity immediately after the snow melts. A person or a warm-blooded animal, passing through forest vegetation, "transplant" the tick on themselves. Visiting the tick-borne encephalitis foci in the period from May to June is most dangerous, but the probability of infection lasts for the entire period of tick activity (in most areas of the country - until September).

Domestic gas has long been our helper in the home, but it is extremely explosive and poisonous.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations warns - be careful with domestic gas, meet all the requirements for the safe operation of gas appliances.

In order to avoid accidents during the operation of gas appliances, experts recommend to observe the following rules and recommendations:

Acquire gas cylinders and gas equipment should be only in specialized organizations that have certificates for the implementation of these products. After all, the responsibility for the safe operation of operating gas appliances and their maintenance in proper condition are borne by their owners. Never buy gas appliances, including gas cylinders, from unauthorized persons.

Mandatory annual inspection of gas equipment by specialists.

Before opening the gas valve on the stove, bring the lit match to the burner.

Remember that gas mixed with air is fire and explosion hazard!

The sources of ignition of the mixture can be: open fire (matches, cigarettes, etc.), electric spark, which appeared when switching on and off electrical appliances. In order to avoid poisoning, it is necessary to check the draft before igniting, immediately after switching on the gas appliances and during their work, to monitor the condition of the ventilation ducts, to constantly ventilate the room, especially before going to bed.

Gas cylinders (working and spare) for household gas appliances should preferably be located outside buildings (in extensions, basement and basement floors, cabinets or under cocks covering the upper part of the cylinders or gear) at a blank wall at a distance not closer than 5 m from entrances to the building. Attachments should be made of non-flammable materials.

Extensions and cabinets for gas cylinders must be locked to prevent children and unauthorized persons from accessing and have air-vents.

When using gas in everyday life is prohibited:

Tie ropes to gas pipelines (this breaks the density of threaded connections, gas leakage and, consequently, an explosion can occur);

Dry linen and hair over the stove;

Unauthorized to reinstall and repair gas appliances, cylinders, valves; leave unattended gas appliances;

Allow children of preschool age and persons who do not know the rules for their safe use to use gas appliances;

Use an open flame to detect gas leaks (only soap emulsion should be used for this);

Install a pressure regulator without an o-ring or gasket;

Bend and twist the rubber-fabric sleeve (hose), prevent damage to the outer layer of the sleeve (cuts, cracks, breaks), as in these places there is a gas leak; place flammable materials and liquids near the working plate;

Use the rooms where gas appliances for sleeping and rest are installed; use gas and gas stoves for space heating; attach parts of gas fittings using a spark-forming tool; store spare cylinders.

In case of leakage from an underground gas pipeline, gas through loose ground or cracks in the foundation can penetrate into the basement of a residential building. Having discovered the smell of gas, it is necessary to protect the entrance to the basement, make sure that they do not smoke or light a fire near it, provide ventilation of the basement, the entrance and call the emergency service.

If gas equipment malfunctions or gas smells, you should immediately stop using the device, turn off the taps on the stove and the valve on the cylinder or the flask on the gearbox, call the emergency service by calling "04" and ventilate the room thoroughly. At this time, do not use open fire, do not turn on or turn off electrical appliances and electric lighting.

The department of supervisory activities of the city district of Istra reminds the population of fire safety measures when using gas equipment.

Remember that you are responsible for the proper operation of the gas equipment inside the apartment. When selling any gas appliance must be supplied with instructions for use. The person installing the device must give you a document certifying that the work was performed in accordance with technical and safety regulations. Flexible hoses should be as short as possible (no more than 2m). Make sure they are tightly attached to the faucet. The maximum service life of a flexible hose is four years, (the limit can be put on the hose), but care is required to replace it every two years. The hose clamp must provide full sealing, but do not try to clamp it too tightly, as this may break the hose and cause a gas leak. Do not forget that the gas used in everyday life is explosive, therefore, when using gas appliances, you must comply with the rules of fire safety!

Gas leak detection methods

Approximately. On the surface of the soapy water poured along the gas pipes, bubbles form in places of leakage.

Aurally. In the case of a strong leak gas is pulled out with a whistle.

By smell. The characteristic smell, which emits gas, becomes stronger near the leak. Never look for a gas leak with an open flame, such as a burning match. Try to stop the gas supply, if possible. Be sure to call the fire department.

When using gas appliances in everyday life, the following safety precautions should be observed:

Constantly check the draft, keep the vents in the rooms where gas appliances are installed, open. Burning gas burns oxygen; therefore, it is necessary that the room is provided with constant ventilation;

Do not plug the ventilation holes in the winter;

Do not leave working gas appliances unattended if they do not have appropriate automation and are not designed for continuous operation;

Do not use gas stoves for heating, but rooms where gas appliances are installed for sleeping and relaxing;

At the end of the use of gas, close the valves on the gas appliances, the valves in front of them, and when using the cylinders - and the valves of the cylinders;

Regularly check the tightness of the hoses and threaded connections on the pipes using soap suds;

Keep the gas stove clean;

Leaving the apartment, shut off the gas on the gas pipeline or tighten the valve on the gas cylinder.

Remember, gas leaks usually occur as a result of the hose breaking down, connecting the gas pipeline to the stove, depressurization of threaded connections, forgetfulness of people leaving valves open, children’s pranks, pouring water over the edge of the dishes.

What to do in case of a gas leak

Avoid any action that causes sparks and an increase in the air temperature in the room.

Do not touch electrical switches - this can also cause a spark.

Ensure intensive ventilation of the room by opening all windows.

Remove everyone present. If possible, shut off the gas supply. Call the master.

The gas ignited at the leak:  while the gas is burning, there is no danger of an explosion. Never blow the flame, as this can lead to a catastrophe, gas and air will form an explosive mixture, and if there is an ignition source (overheated metal, burning coals, sparks, electric arc, etc.), an explosion is inevitable. Make sure that nearby objects do not catch fire. Compressed gas cylinder leak.

As a rule, a leak occurs at the junction of the cylinder with a flexible hose.  With such damage, you can temporarily cover this place with a wet cloth. If you can, take the balloon out. If you can’t do this, ventilate the room well. Avoid any action that causes an increase in air temperature. Return the balloon immediately to the supplier. One of the causes of the prerequisite for ignition is a violation of safety rules when using a gas stove and risers on the ground floors. So, one of the family members turns on the gas stove, puts on it containers for cooking or heating food and for a long time is distracted by other matters, forgetting that red-hot cooking utensils, burnt food, boiling water can create a fire-hazardous situation. apartment. To avoid a fire when using gas appliances, we strongly recommend that you remember and follow the rules tested in practice:

Particular attention should be paid to the use of gas risers on the first floors in the summer:  negligent tenants of inexperience or deliberately shut off gas taps at the first-floor gas station for the time they are not in the apartment, which is very dangerous, because it blocks the entire gas system in the house, which is fraught with the most serious consequences, including fire and death.

In case of danger, if the residents are absent for a long time, OMVD and EMERCOM personnel will be involved in opening the apartments.

The fire on the cylinder with compressed gas. Try to close the tap by wrapping your hands in a wet cloth. If this is not possible (fire on the gasket, the valve is deformed as a result of heating), do not blow the flame, as this may cause an explosion. Immediately call the fire brigade and try to protect the objects located near the fire from ignition. Never reposition the compressed gas cylinder until it has cooled: from the slightest shock, it can explode.

It is prohibited:

To allow the use of gas devices of children of preschool age, persons who do not control their actions and do not know the rules for using these devices.

Store empty and filled with liquefied gas cylinders in rooms and basements. Have in the gasified room more than one cylinder with a capacity of 50 (55) liters or two 27l cylinders (one of them is spare).

Position the cylinders against the furnace doors of furnaces at a distance of less than 2m from them. Use gas: if gas appliances fail, there is no thrust, gas leakage is detected, without checking the condition of the flue and ventilation ducts.

Any unauthorized actions with gas equipment, gasification without appropriate permits, the involvement of random individuals for the repair and rearrangement of gas appliances are prohibited. All types of work related to gas should be carried out only by specialized organizations.

The population using gas in everyday life is obliged to:

Instruct on the safe use of gas in the operating organization of the gas industry, have and follow the instructions for use of the devices.

To monitor the normal operation of gas appliances, chimneys and ventilation, check the thrust before switching on and during operation of gas appliances with the exhaust of combustion products into the chimney. Before using the gasified furnace, check whether the gate is fully open. Periodically clean the "pocket" of the chimney.

At the end of the use of gas, close the valves on the gas appliances and in front of them, and when placing the cylinders inside the kitchens, additionally close the valves at the cylinders. In case of malfunctioning of gas equipment, call the employees of the gas industry enterprise. In the event of a sudden cessation of gas supply, close immediately the taps of gas burners and inform the gas service by calling 04

Before entering the basements and cellars, before turning on the light and igniting the fire, make sure that there is no smell of gas.

If you detect the smell of gas, basement, porch, in the courtyard, on the street: inform others about precautions; report to the gas service by calling 04 from an ungassed area; take measures to remove people from the gas atmosphere, prevent switching on and off electric lighting, the appearance of open fire and sparks; before the arrival of the emergency team to organize the ventilation of the room. Be careful with gas! Your forgetfulness, inattention can cause unpleasantness to you, your family and neighbors. Only skillful handling of gas appliances and knowledge of gas use rules will help you avoid accidents.

INSTRUCTIONS

on the procedure for action in cases of gas leakage or the detection of a malfunction of gas appliances (apparatus)

How to deal with the leak of domestic gas

If you feel the smell of gas in the room, immediately shut off its flow to the stove. Do not smoke, do not light matches, do not turn on the lights and electrical appliances (it is best to de-energize the entire apartment by disconnecting the power supply on the switchboard) so that the spark could not ignite the gas accumulated in the apartment and cause an explosion.

Thoroughly ventilate the entire apartment, and not just a gassed room, opening all the doors and windows. Leave the room and do not enter it until the smell of gas disappears. When the surrounding signs of gas poisoning, bring them to fresh air and put so that the head was above the legs. Call an ambulance.

If the smell of gas does not disappear, immediately call the emergency gas service (telephone 04), working around the clock.

If there was a GAS LEAK in the apartment then:

Warn neighbors immediately and call 04 on the emergency gas service by calling 04, avoiding any actions causing sparks and an increase in the air temperature in the apartment;

Air the apartment by opening the windows and removing all present from it. You can not smoke, light matches, press the electric bell button, switch keys, make phone calls (pull the cord out of the socket so that you cannot be called), walk on the hard floor in shoes with nails or horseshoes (to avoid a spark). Sometimes a spark appears when you turn on any appliance (very often a refrigerator) and it is enough to cause an explosion, despite the precautions taken;

Stop, if possible, the gas supply, leave the apartment, closing the door behind you, and wait for the arrival of gas service specialists on the street.

If GAS INSIDE LEAKAGE BURNS then:

Immediately remove all people from the apartment and call the emergency gas service and the fire brigade from the neighbors;

While the gas is burning, there is no danger of an explosion; therefore, never try to extinguish the flame, as this will lead to a catastrophe: gas and air together form an explosive mixture and in the presence of a source of fire (overheated metal, burning coals, sparks, electric arc) an inevitable explosion;

Try to shut off the gas supply, so that the objects located close to the fire (curtains, towel, etc.) do not catch fire.

If the flame burned in the burner:

Noticing the extinguished burner, do not try to re-ignite it - it will lead to an explosion of accumulated gas. Shut off the gas faucet, open the windows and ventilate the kitchen;

wait until the burner cools down (if necessary, clean it of food residue and fat, blow the gas supply holes) and then re-ignite the gas, having previously closed

windows and eliminating drafts;

If a lot of gas has accumulated in the kitchen, in order to avoid poisoning, wet the scarf with water, press it to your face and, breathing through it, enter the kitchen and turn off the gas supply valve. If this cannot be done, immediately evacuate all neighbors on the landing and call the emergency gas service and the fire brigade;

Help the victims of gas poisoning.

If a LEAK FROM CYLINDER WITH LIQUEFIED GAS occurs:

Immediately call the emergency gas service and, together with your neighbors, take the balloon to the street, protecting it from impacts. Keep children away from the balloon and cover it with a wet, thick cloth;

As a rule, a leak occurs at the junction of the cylinder with a flexible hose. If the balloon cannot be taken outside, you can temporarily block the leakage with a wet rag. Air the kitchen, do not use lighting and electrical appliances;

If the arriving gas service specialists determine that it is dangerous to use this cylinder, take an opinion from them and, calling representatives of the district gas service, demand to replace the failed cylinder at their expense.

If a fire appeared on the cylinder with a gas, then:

Ask your family or neighbors to immediately call the fire brigade and the emergency gas service, remove everyone from the apartment;

Try to close the valve on the bottle by wrapping your hands with a wet cloth. If this is not possible (fire on the gasket, the valve is deformed as a result of heating, etc.), do not blow the flame - an explosion is possible;

Do not attempt to carry or move the compressed gas cylinder anywhere before it cools down: it can explode with the slightest push.

If you find a smell of gas in the staircase then:

Call the emergency gas service immediately. Together with your neighbors, try to identify the place and source of gas leakage. If you need to enter the apartment where the gas is coming from, break the door;

announce the danger to all residents of the house, convince them not to use electric calls and open fire. Inform the dispatcher about the incident and ask to temporarily disable the elevator in the stairwell (after removing people from there);

Evacuate the tenants from the apartments closest to the source of the gas leak, take the children and the elderly to the street, breathing through a wet scarf;

Open the windows and doors at the entrance, carefully ventilate it.

Upon the arrival of the gas service specialists, indicate to them the source of the gas leak and follow their instructions.

If a gas explosion has occurred, then:

Immediately call the emergency gas service, fire brigade, police and ambulance, if possible, save your neighbors from the fragments of walls and ceilings, using improvised means (crowbars, hooks, shovels, car jacks, etc.), extinguish the fire. Be extremely careful: the explosions may repeat;

If during the explosion at the neighbors you were in an apartment, turn off the gas supply and turn off the electricity, immediately leave the apartment, closing the door behind you;

If you are not busy extinguishing a fire or rescuing people, go outside and, staying there before the arrival of the fire brigade team, call an ambulance; give first aid to the victims.

Gas leak detection methods:

On the eye: on the surface of gas pipes moistened with soapy water, bubbles form at the leak;

Aurally: in the event of a strong leak, gas escapes with a whistle;

By smell: the characteristic smell that gas possesses becomes stronger near the leak. You can not look for a leak with an open flame!

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY READITIONS ARRIVING IMMEDIATELY CALL THE RECOVERY ON TELEPHONE "112"

IN CASE OF GAS LEAKAGE CALL BY “04” TELEPHONE, IN CASE OF FIRE OR FIRE SMOKING IMMEDIATELY REPORT THE CONTROLLER FOR FIRE PROTECTION ON “01” TELEPHONE OR 8-495-994-15-49--15-49--15-49--15-49-55 A-0 HANCHIRE PROTECTING THE TELEPHONE ON THE TELEPHONE “01”

Before the arrival of the fire brigade, take measures to evacuate people and property; start extinguishing with available means (water, sand, fire extinguisher, blanket or other thick cloth).

In the case of ignition of insulation of electrical wires, you must first turn off the network, and then proceed to extinguish.

Kerosene, gasoline and other flammable liquids cannot be extinguished with water: they are lighter than water and will rise to the surface as they surface. When burning these extinguishing fluids, you can use a blanket, thick cloth or sand.

Failure to comply with fire safety rules entails administrative responsibility, and in case of fire, administrative and criminal liability. In compliance with the basic rules of fire safety ignition cases are reduced to zero.

REMEMBER!Unconditional implementation of fire prevention measures will eliminate the risk of fire in your home.

Gas leakage actions

Many natural gases are sources of danger to humans. However, the most dangerous are methane (city main gas) and liquefied petroleum gas (in cylinders) used in everyday life. In case of leakage, they cause choking, poisoning and can lead to an explosion, therefore it is necessary to know and strictly follow the rules for using gas appliances, columns, stoves and caring for them.

HOW TO ACT IN LOCATION OF THE MAIN GAS



RULES FOR GAS CYLINDERS


Take measures to protect the cylinder and gas tube from heat and direct sunlight. Refrain from replacing the gas cylinder in the presence of a number of fire, hot coals, electrical appliances included. Before replacing, make sure that the valves of the new and used cylinders are closed. After replacement, check the tightness of the connections with soapy water. To connect the gas stove cylinder, use a special flexible rubber hose labeled no more than a meter long, fixed with safety clips. Do not stretch or clamp it.
Only inspect and repair gas equipment by a qualified technician. Store unused cylinders, both filled and empty, outdoors.
During cooking, make sure that the boiling liquids do not fill the fire and do not cause a gas leak. At the end of the work close the cylinder valve. Clean the burners regularly, as clogging may cause trouble.

Rules of conduct in case of an accident with a gas leak

Natural gases for the most part are serious sources of danger for humans. However, the most common to use, and therefore the most dangerous, are liquefied petroleum gas, offered to consumers in cylinders for domestic needs, as well as methane flowing through urban highways. They most often cause damage to property and damage to health, and sometimes take life.

Gas leakage causes choking, poisoning, and headache. But this is not the worst consequences. The result of a leak may be an explosion, the damage from which is incomparable even with a fire.

To avoid such unfortunate consequences, it is necessary to strictly follow all recommendations for the use of gas appliances, including stoves, columns, stoves. To carry out regular maintenance of them, not to delay with the repair or even replacement.

If there is a gas leak.

If you feel the smell of gas in a closed room, the first thing to do is to stop its flow to the stove. To do this, turn off the tap. In this case, in any case, do not light a match, do not smoke, if possible do not turn on the lights and any electrical appliances. The best solution in such a case would be to completely de-energize the apartment with the help of an electrical distribution panel on the landing. This will eliminate the possibility of gas ignition from a spark, and, accordingly, an explosion.

Open wide all the windows in the apartment, lock the doors so that they do not close the draft. Properly ventilate the apartment to the complete disappearance of the smell of gas. At this time, it is advisable to leave the gassed room altogether.

If, even with the valve turned off, gas continues to enter the room, it is strictly forbidden to return to it before the arrival of rescuers.

If your loved ones show the first signs of poisoning, immediately take them to fresh air, lay so that the head is above the level of the legs. Do not postpone calling a doctor even if the patient says that he is better.

Regardless of the time of day, call the emergency gas service.

Rules for the treatment of household gas cylinders.

If you store a gas bottle outside the house, place it in a well-ventilated area, always in an upright position. Do not put gas cylinders in the basement or bury in the ground.

Protect the cylinder itself and its gas tube from direct sunlight and heat.

If you need to replace the gas cylinder, you need to remove all sources of fire, burning coals, turn off electrical appliances. First of all, before replacing, make sure that both the old and new bottle are tightly closed. After making a replacement for tightness all connections. at home, this can be done with a soap solution.

In order to connect a gas cylinder with a stove, it is recommended to choose a flexible rubber hose no longer than one meter long, specially designed for this purpose, and fix it for safety purposes with clips. Ensure that they are not stretched or clamped.

Inspection, and especially repair, of all gas equipment can only be done by a qualified technician.

All cylinders that you currently do not use, both empty and filled, are stored outside the dwelling.

While cooking, be careful that liquids that have leaked from the pan do not fill the fire, as this may cause a gas leak. After all the preparation work is completed, do not forget to turn off the tap.

Behavior with gas leaks

Many natural gases are sources of danger to humans. However, the most dangerous are methane (city main gas) and liquefied petroleum gas (in cylinders) used in everyday life. In case of leakage, they cause choking, poisoning and can lead to an explosion, therefore it is necessary to know and strictly follow the rules for using gas appliances, columns, stoves and caring for them.

How to deal with leakage of main gas

If you feel the smell of gas in the room, immediately shut off its flow to the stove. Do not smoke, do not light matches, do not turn on the lights and electrical appliances (it is best to de-energize the entire apartment by disconnecting the power supply on the switchboard) so that the spark could not ignite the gas accumulated in the apartment and cause an explosion.

Thoroughly ventilate the entire apartment, and not just a gassed room, opening all the doors and windows. Leave the room and do not enter it until the smell of gas disappears.

When the surrounding signs of gas poisoning, bring them to fresh air and put so that the head was above the legs. Call an ambulance.

If the smell of gas does not disappear, immediately call the emergency gas service (telephone 04), working around the clock.

Gas cylinder handling rules

Outside the house, store the gas bottle in a ventilated room, in an upright position, do not bury it and do not put it in the basement.

Take measures to protect the cylinder and gas tube from heat and direct sunlight.

Refrain from replacing the gas cylinder in the presence of a number of fire, hot coals, electrical appliances included. Make sure before replacing. that the taps of the new and spent cylinders are closed. After replacement, check the tightness of the connections with soapy water.

To connect the gas stove cylinder, use a special flexible rubber hose labeled no more than a meter long, fixed with safety clips. Do not stretch or clamp it.

Only inspect and repair gas equipment by a qualified technician.

Store unused cylinders, both filled and empty, outdoors.

During cooking, make sure that the boiling liquids do not fill the fire and do not cause a gas leak. At the end of the work close the cylinder valve.

Clean the burners regularly, as clogging may cause trouble.

INSTRUCTIONS on the procedure for action in cases of gas leakage or the detection of a malfunction of gas appliances (apparatus)

How to deal with the leak of domestic gas

If you feel the smell of gas in the room, immediately shut off its flow to the stove. Do not smoke, do not light matches, do not turn on the lights and electrical appliances (it is best to de-energize the entire apartment by disconnecting the power supply on the switchboard) so that the spark could not ignite the gas accumulated in the apartment and cause an explosion.

Thoroughly ventilate the entire apartment, and not just a gassed room, opening all the doors and windows. Leave the room and do not enter it until the smell of gas disappears. When the surrounding signs of gas poisoning, bring them to fresh air and put so that the head was above the legs. Call an ambulance.

If the smell of gas does not disappear, immediately call the emergency gas service (telephone 04), working around the clock.

If there was a GAS LEAK in the apartment then:

Warn neighbors immediately and call 04 on the emergency gas service by calling 04, avoiding any actions causing sparks and an increase in the air temperature in the apartment;

Air the apartment by opening the windows and removing all present from it. You can not smoke, light matches, press the electric bell button, switch keys, make phone calls (pull the cord out of the socket so that you cannot be called), walk on the hard floor in shoes with nails or horseshoes (to avoid a spark). Sometimes a spark appears when you turn on any appliance (very often a refrigerator) and it is enough to cause an explosion, despite the precautions taken;

Stop, if possible, the gas supply, leave the apartment, closing the door behind you, and wait for the arrival of gas service specialists on the street.

If GAS INSIDE LEAKAGE BURNS then:

Immediately remove all people from the apartment and call the emergency gas service and the fire brigade from the neighbors;

While the gas is burning, there is no danger of an explosion; therefore, never try to extinguish the flame, as this will lead to a catastrophe: gas and air together form an explosive mixture and in the presence of a source of fire (overheated metal, burning coals, sparks, electric arc) an inevitable explosion;

Try to shut off the gas supply, so that the objects located close to the fire (curtains, towel, etc.) do not catch fire.

If the flame burned in the burner:

Noticing the extinguished burner, do not try to re-ignite it - it will lead to an explosion of accumulated gas. Shut off the gas faucet, open the windows and ventilate the kitchen;

wait until the burner cools down (if necessary, clean it of food residue and fat, blow the gas supply holes) and then re-ignite the gas, having previously closed

windows and eliminating drafts;

If a lot of gas has accumulated in the kitchen, in order to avoid poisoning, wet the scarf with water, press it to your face and, breathing through it, enter the kitchen and turn off the gas supply valve. If this cannot be done, immediately evacuate all neighbors on the landing and call the emergency gas service and the fire brigade;

Help the victims of gas poisoning.

If a LEAK FROM CYLINDER WITH LIQUEFIED GAS occurs:

Immediately call the emergency gas service and, together with your neighbors, take the balloon to the street, protecting it from impacts. Keep children away from the balloon and cover it with a wet, thick cloth;

As a rule, a leak occurs at the junction of the cylinder with a flexible hose. If the balloon cannot be taken outside, you can temporarily block the leakage with a wet rag. Air the kitchen, do not use lighting and electrical appliances;

If the arriving gas service specialists determine that it is dangerous to use this cylinder, take an opinion from them and, calling representatives of the district gas service, demand to replace the failed cylinder at their expense.

If a fire appeared on the cylinder with a gas, then:

Ask your family or neighbors to immediately call the fire brigade and the emergency gas service, remove everyone from the apartment;

Try to close the valve on the bottle by wrapping your hands with a wet cloth. If this is not possible (fire on the gasket, the valve is deformed as a result of heating, etc.), do not blow the flame - an explosion is possible;

Do not attempt to carry or move the compressed gas cylinder anywhere before it cools down: it can explode with the slightest push.

If you find a smell of gas in the staircase then:

Call the emergency gas service immediately. Together with your neighbors, try to identify the place and source of gas leakage. If you need to enter the apartment where the gas is coming from, break the door;

announce the danger to all residents of the house, convince them not to use electric calls and open fire. Inform the dispatcher about the incident and ask to temporarily disable the elevator in the stairwell (after removing people from there);

Evacuate the tenants from the apartments closest to the source of the gas leak, take the children and the elderly to the street, breathing through a wet scarf;

Open the windows and doors at the entrance, carefully ventilate it.

Upon the arrival of the gas service specialists, indicate to them the source of the gas leak and follow their instructions.

If a gas explosion has occurred, then:

Immediately call the emergency gas service, fire brigade, police and ambulance, if possible, save your neighbors from under the fragments of walls and ceilings, using improvised means (crowbars, hooks, shovels, car jacks, etc.), extinguish the fire. Be extremely careful: the explosions may repeat;

If during the explosion at the neighbors you were in an apartment, turn off the gas supply and turn off the electricity, immediately leave the apartment, closing the door behind you;

If you are not busy extinguishing a fire or rescuing people, go outside and, staying there before the arrival of the fire brigade team, call the Ambulance; give first aid to the victims.

Gas leak detection methods:

On the eye: on the surface of gas pipes moistened with soapy water, bubbles form at the leak;

Aurally: in the event of a strong leak, gas escapes with a whistle;

By smell: the characteristic smell that gas possesses becomes stronger near the leak. You can not look for a leak with an open flame!

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY READITIONS ARRIVING IMMEDIATELY CALL THE RECOVERY ON TELEPHONE "112"

IN CASE OF GAS LEAKAGE CALL BY “104” TELEPHONE, IN CASE OF FIRE OR FIRE SMOKING IMMEDIATELY REPORT THE CONTROLLER TO FIRE PROTECTION ON “101” TELEPHONE OR 8-495-994-15-49--15-49--15-49--15-49--15-49 A-C HANCHIRE PROTECTING THE TELEPHONE ON 101 PHONE OR 8-495-994-15-494-494 -144 -144-47-494

Before the arrival of the fire brigade, take measures to evacuate people and property; start extinguishing with available means (water, sand, fire extinguisher, blanket or other thick cloth).

In the case of ignition of insulation of electrical wires, you must first turn off the network, and then proceed to extinguish.

Kerosene, gasoline and other flammable liquids cannot be extinguished with water: they are lighter than water and will rise to the surface as they surface. When burning these extinguishing fluids, you can use a blanket, thick cloth or sand.

Failure to comply with fire safety rules entails administrative responsibility, and in case of fire, administrative and criminal liability. In compliance with the basic rules of fire safety ignition cases are reduced to zero.

REMEMBER!  Unconditional implementation of fire prevention measures will eliminate the risk of fire in your home.
