Saving
lives comes first. If you think a situation is
dangerous, notify people in the vicinity with
a loud voice and evacuate the premises.
Smoke contains carbon monoxide, which is a toxic
substance. Bend low or crawl on the floor to evacuate,
holding a handkerchief or towel to your nose and
mouth.
Be sure to confirm the availability of escape
route (in both direction) on a daily basis.
Do not use elevators. Once you have evacuated,
do not return. |
