Three Misunderstandings of Self-help Responding to Public Safety Accidents

In the face of sudden disasters, whether you can make a reasonable choice in time is often a matter of life and death. So, what should we do when disaster strikes? The reporter invited relevant experts to sort out a few misunderstandings that people have in the emergency, hoping to help everyone respond reasonably and stay away from danger.

Myth 1: Numbness

In the movie "Fire Fighting Heroes", power expert Yang Lin discovered that the temperature of the nearby power pipe was continuously rising when the newly fired winery was connected to the sewage drain and the underground oil tank. She hoped that the high-level could pull off the electric gate to prevent the accident from expanding, but the high-level Turning a blind eye to this, I thought that this small problem would not happen, and eventually caused the pipeline to explode and fire.

This movie fragment reflects people's misunderstandings in public safety accidents from one aspect. Thousands of miles of dikes were destroyed in ant dens, and security incidents were often caused by small incidents. For example, because of insufficient attention to soil loosening and other problems, problems such as collapse and leakage during construction often occur.

Another manifestation of numbness is that people do not care enough about what is happening around them. One of the episodes of the British short drama "Black Mirror" mentioned that someone was inexplicably hunted down by an unknown person, but the people around him did not choose to rescue them, but took out their mobile phones to take the scene. Nowadays, people seem to be more willing to communicate intimately with all kinds of people on the Internet, without paying attention to the abnormal behavior of the people around them.

In the “July 5th” bus arson incident in Hangzhou, according to eyewitnesses, a young man who was facing the single seat of the rear door of the car dumped a liquid with a strong odor from the backpack he carried with a lighter When the liquid is ignited, the carriage instantly ignites and burns. If the passengers around you were paying attention, you might be able to detect the anomaly earlier and respond in time.

Myth 2: Blind

According to statistics, in a major disaster, 86% of the victims missed the best escape opportunities because of fear and blind flight.

On the afternoon of February 14 this year, a fire broke out in an office on the 6th floor of the office building of Cixi Branch of the People's Insurance Company of China. When the employees in the adjacent office found out, they immediately called the police and carried out self-rescue. Because the fire was too large to be extinguished, employees evacuated one after another. However, one of the employees jumped from the 6th floor and fell on the platform on the second floor in panic. After the rescue, he died.

If the rescue is blind, the consequences will be serious. On August 11, last year, in a condiment company located at 232 Hongxing Road, Xiangfang District, Harbin, a worker was smoked down while cleaning a large white vinegar tin canister. Another co-worker found the canister and rescued them. Both were smoked and died in the canister. On August 15, the same year, in an inspection well of an underground pipeline in the Economic and Technological Development Zone, Dezhou City, Shandong Province, three wiring workers were trapped underground due to lack of oxygen, and one worker was trapped due to lack of oxygen when rescued. Two injuries. On August 21, Shanghai Chongming County Sanshang Food Company, an employee accidentally fell into the pool while cleaning the pickled vegetable pool, and 8 other employees also fell one after another during the rescue.

In these accidents, due to the lack of safety knowledge of some employees, the rescue was blind, resulting in tragedy. In many cases, saving people cannot only rely on courage and courage, but must have the correct methods and techniques.

Misunderstanding 3: panic

On July 28 last year, a 5-storey steel frame building in a commercial city in Henan suddenly wobbled due to a roller compactor nearby, and more than 3,000 customers and shop staff mistakenly thought that an earthquake had occurred. A trampling accident occurred, but fortunately no deaths were caused.

When a public safety accident occurs, people instinctively choose to protect themselves as much as possible and escape from the dangerous scene as soon as possible. In fact, mutual assistance is a more effective way to deal with accidents. For example, when an earthquake occurs, a teacher organizes male students to protect female students. The older ones are younger and leave the site in an orderly manner. The probability of casualties is much lower than that of those who just run blindly.

To effectively carry out mutual assistance, everyone must also learn a scientific method of rescue. Relevant departments and social organizations should carry out more common sense and action teaching in the community to help the citizens to respond in a timely and scientific manner when they encounter unexpected situations.
