bEttEr to bE safE tHan sorryin a busy city like Dhaka, accidents are very likely to happen. So, it is very important for you to know the basic steps of protecting yourself in such situations

naDia abDullah

During the fire, it is very important to have an escape plan, that can help every member of the family to get out of the house safely and quickly. Smoke from a fire can make it hard to see and difficult to breathe. So it’s important to have a good idea of the outlines of your house.

If you’re in a room with the door closed when the fire breaks out• You need to make sure that the

room on the other side of the door is not burning in fire before you run towards the exit!

• Check if there’s heat or smoke coming out from the cracks

around the door. If there is, don’t open the door!

• If you don’t see smoke, touch the door or the doorknob; if it’s hot, don’t open it. Open the door slowly and carefully, and check whether if there is fire.

If you are stuck inside a room• Find wet towels and sheets to

close the door cracks; this stops the smoke from entering the room.

• Tear off the curtains and anything that could burn, and make them wet, so they don’t catch fire.

• Don’t break the windows! If the

fire is coming from outside, close the window to protect yourself from the heat and smoke. If the fire is inside, open the window to let air in.

While moving from one room to another• Always close all the doors behind

you.• Stay where the air is cleaner and

cooler.• If it’s still smoky in your room,

breathe through a wet towel that covers your nose and mouth. Breathe only through your nose. Hold part of the towel with your

lips and teeth. • Always use the stairway, never the

elevator!

Once outside the building• Once you are out, don’t go back

in. If anyone is still stuck inside, ask for an adult’s help.

• If your clothes are on fire, get on the floor and roll.

• Quickly cool any burns with water and ask for medical attention.

How to use a fire extinguisher• Remember the simple word form,

P.A.S.S. to help you use the fire extinguisher effectively.

P.A.S.S. stands for: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep.• PULL the safety pin from the

handle. You will find the pin at the top of the fire extinguisher. Once removed, it releases the lock, allowing you to use the extinguisher.

• AIM the extinguisher nozzle or hose at the base of the fire.

• SQUEEZE the handle or lever slowly to use. Letting go of the handle will stop the flow, so keep it held down.

• SWEEP side to side nearly 15cm over the fire until it is used up. The sweeping motion helps to extinguish the fire.

Earthquake• Earthquakes happen a lot in our

country, and it is important to keep yourself safe when you sense one.

If you are indoors• Stay away from windows, inside

walls and movable furniture or appliances. Avoid going to the kitchen.

• Don’t try to rush downstairs or outdoors while the building is

shaking. There is greater danger of falling objects, glass, or staircases collapsing under your feet.

• Drop, cover and hold. Get under a sturdy furniture, like your dining table.

• Cover your head and neck. Use your hands and arms to protect these areas from falling objects. Your upper body should also be covered because that is what supports your neck. If you have any respiratory diseases, cover your head with a t-shirt or bandana, until all the debris and dust has settled. Inhaling dirty air is not good for your lungs.

• Do not move until you are sure that the shaking has stopped and it is safe to do so, then leave the building carefully and slowly.

• Do not turn electrical devices on or off. Simply switching on a light switch could create a spark and start a fire.

• If possible, turn off gas lines to prevent fires from starting.

If you are in a moving car• Stop as quickly as you can and

wait inside. Avoid stopping near

tall buildings, trees, overpasses and wires.

• Stay seated in your car and wait until the earthquake is over. Stay calm, the metal will protect you from most falling objects. But when you are in a garage, get out of the car immediately, and crouch down next to the car.

• Move carefully once the earthquake has stopped. Avoid roads, bridges, or ramps that might have been damaged by the earthquake.

Road safety• Always stay alert while crossing

the road. • Always stop before crossing the

road. Look on both sides to check for speeding cars and then cross the road.

• Always try to make eye contact with the drivers before. This way you are assured the driver has noted your presence.

• Always try to cross over the zebra crossings and intersections.

• Make sure you know what all the traffic signs mean!

Cuts and scratchesIf there’s bleeding, first press strongly over the place with a clean cloth until it stops. Clean it under lukewarm running water and gently dry. If a wound is dirty or was caused by an animal scratch, rinse it with water and soap. If a large piece of skin has been removed, wrap it in a clean, wet cloth and place it in a bag over ice. An animal bite that has caused a deep cut should be seen by a doctor.

BurnsImmediately hold under cool running water or apply a cold, wet towel until the pain stops. Cover the wound with a loose bandage or gauze; call a doctor as soon as possible.

Splinters or glassUse soap and water to wash around the splinter. Clean a pair of tweezers and slowly pull the splinter out. Wash the skin again. When a splinter is hard to remove, leave it for a day or so to see whether it comes out on its own. If not, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
