Major accidents involving chemical substances have local effects, but in exceptional circumstances they can affect whole regions because of weather conditions. Scientific technical developments have made it possible to prevent such dangers and therefore to protect people from them. The priority must be on prevention, but a positive result can only be assured if there are strict guidelines for using and handling these products, as well as professional knowledge, both of which are indispensable in this very complex field.
☆ Know the sound of the chemical alarm siren, the instructions to be followed and the action to be taken.
☆ Know and follow the instruction for the use and handling of dangerous chemical substances.
☆ Prepare and have at hand an emergency kit for the family in case evacuation becomes necessary and also reserves of water and food to last throughout the period, which could last several days, during which you have to remain confined at home.
☆ Plan and organise your confinement in hermetically sealed premises. This, especially for those living in the vicinity of a user or producer of dangerous chemical substances.
