Safety & Emergency
Eight Tips for Travel Safety
Emergent public incidents refer to sudden emergencies that have caused or may cause heavy casualties, property losses, ecological damage and severe social harm, thereby endangering public safety.
1Countermeasures After a Crowd Chaos Breaks Out
Rule 1
Stay alert at all times in crowded crowds. If you notice anyone acting abnormally or the crowd turning restless, get ready to protect yourself and others.
Rule 2
When a surging crowd moves toward you, step aside immediately and do not run. Watch your steps carefully to avoid tripping over, so as not to trigger a crowd stampede.
Rule 3
Take temporary shelter in nearby shops, cafes or other accessible places if possible. Never move against the crowd flow, as you may easily be knocked down.
Rule 4
When trapped in a dense crowd, do not lean forward or lower your center of gravity. Even if your shoes are stepped off, do not bend down suddenly to pick them up or tie your shoelaces.
Rule 5
Stop at once if someone ahead falls down, shout for help loudly, and remind people behind not to push forward.
Rule 6
If you are caught in an uncontrollable crowd, stand firm on your feet first. Keep away from store glass windows to prevent cuts from broken glass.
Rule 7
When bringing children into a crowded area, hold them in your arms to prevent them from being trampled in the chaos.
Rule 8
If you fall to the ground, try to move close to a wall. Face the wall, curl your body into a ball, and clasp your hands behind your neck to protect the vulnerable parts of your body.
Rule 9
Grab a solid object such as a street lamp post if you can. After the crowd disperses, leave the scene quickly and calmly.
2What to Do Once a Stampede Accident Occurs
Rule 1
Once a crowd stampede accident occurs, call the police immediately and wait for rescue. Before medical workers arrive at the scene, take prompt and scientific measures for self-rescue and mutual rescue.
Rule 2
In first aid treatment, prioritize the severely injured, the elderly, children and women. The criteria for judging severe injuries include: loss of consciousness and no response to calls; rapid and weak pulse; dropping blood pressure and dilated pupils; obvious external wounds with continuous bleeding.
Rule 3
If an injured person stops breathing and heartbeat, perform artificial respiration at once combined with chest compressions.
3Safety Guidelines for Taking the Cableway
Rule 1
Before taking the cableway, first check whether there is a mark of "Passenger Cableway Safety Inspection Qualified" issued by the national quality inspection authority.
Rule 2
Carefully read the Passenger Notice at the cableway entrance.
Rule 3
After entering the platform, follow the instructions of the staff and get on board in order.
Rule 4
After entering the cable car or chairlift, sit tight and hold firm. Do not open the door or safety guardrail without authorization.
Rule 5
When getting off at the station, follow the guidance of staff, alight one after another and leave the platform.
Rule 6
Do not panic if the cableway stops accidentally. Please wait patiently, listen to the broadcast, and never open the door or guardrail by yourself.
Rule 7
In case of a cableway failure that cannot be removed in a short time, passengers should keep calm and wait for staff rescue. Never try to leave the carriage on your own.
Rule 8
After the rescuers arrive, strictly follow their instructions and cooperate with the rescue work. Do not push or rush. Young people should assist rescuers and give priority to rescuing children, the elderly and women, helping them reach the ground safely first.
Rule 9
After arriving on the ground, guided by the staff, passengers should keep away from the cableway operation area and move to the cableway station in an orderly manner.
4Safety Tips for Swimming
Non-swimmers should learn and adapt first in shallow and safe waters under the guidance of experienced swimmers, before gradually moving to deeper areas. Even with flotation devices such as life rings or air mattresses, non-swimmers shall never swim alone in deep water. Otherwise, they may easily drown when encountering rough winds, big waves and other dangerous conditions.
Do warm-up exercises such as calisthenics. Start with slow swimming near the bank to adapt gradually. Do not swim far away in a rush, and always keep physical strength in reserve.
People suffering from heart disease, epilepsy, hypertension and other illnesses are forbidden to swim in deep water. They may take proper swimming activities in shallow safe areas with personal care, according to their physical condition.
Do not swim or dive rashly in unfamiliar waters. The underwater environment may contain hidden dangers such as leftover wooden piles, tree roots, sharp shells, broken glass, metal thorns, anchors, fishing nets, pointed rocks and dense water weeds. It is recommended to wear plastic shoes when entering the water. When diving to rescue others, adopt a squat diving posture to avoid injury.
Avoid swimming in low-lying or overcast weather. If already in the water, leave immediately to prevent lightning strikes. Do not swim in swirling waters. If caught in a whirlpool, use freestyle or backstroke to escape quickly. Never tread water upright, as a vertical body position can easily be drawn down and cause drowning.
5Several Evacuation and Refuge Methods for Hotel Fires
You are advised to stay on the ground floor.
When staying on a higher floor, familiarize yourself in advance with hotel exits, building passages, emergency lights, water sources and fire-fighting equipment.
In the event of a fire, do not panic. Stay calm, assess the surroundings based on prior knowledge and on-site conditions, and then make rational evacuation decisions.
Without evacuation guidance, flee downwards or horizontally. If the escape route is blocked by fire, move upwards instead. As a last resort, proceed to the rooftop, yet be aware of the high temperature risk. Cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel while escaping to reduce harm from heavy smoke.
If evacuation passages are cut off, slide down with a rope or strips made from bed sheets. Once reaching an uninvolved floor below, break the window to take shelter indoors.
6High-rise Building Fire Escape
Keep a clear mind. In the event of a fire, staying calm is the prerequisite for a successful escape.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator for emergency escape. Never take ordinary elevators during a fire. Once a fire breaks out, elevators are likely to get trapped due to power failure, making rescue more difficult. Since elevator shafts connect all floors, smoke will pour in and cause the chimney effect, which may lead to suffocation from toxic fumes. For evacuation, use smoke-proof stairwells, enclosed staircases, ventilated corridors with windows and refuge floors.
Find a safe escape route and flee downwards rather than upwards. After entering the stairwell, escape downstairs if the lower floors are safe. Avoid running upstairs, as the strong chimney effect will spread fire and smoke rapidly upward, causing disorientation, fainting and even death.
7Wrong Behaviors in Fire Escape
1. Escaping by the Original Route
This is the most common fire escape habit. Most people are unfamiliar with the internal layout and emergency exits of buildings. When a fire breaks out, they tend to escape through the entrances, exits and corridors they used to enter. Only when such routes are blocked will they try to find other ways, by which time the best chance for escape has been missed. Therefore, upon entering a new building or hotel, people should get familiar with the surrounding environment and emergency exits in advance to prepare for emergencies.
2. Heading for Light and Bright Areas
Driven by instinct, physiology and psychology, people tend to run toward bright places in emergencies. Light symbolizes survival hope, guiding escape routes and helping people avoid blind movement. However, in most fire scenarios, power supplies are cut off or short-circuited. In fact, bright areas are usually where the fire spreads most fiercely.
3. Blind Following
When facing sudden life-threatening dangers, people often panic and lose rational judgment. Upon seeing others running ahead, they tend to follow blindly. Typical blind behaviors include jumping out of windows, leaping from buildings, and hiding in toilets, bathrooms or corners. To avoid such risks, people should learn basic fire prevention and self-rescue knowledge in daily life so as to keep calm and make independent judgments in emergencies.
4. Rushing Downward Blindly
As the saying goes, people climb high, while flames rise upward. During a high-rise fire, people usually assume that fire spreads from lower floors upward, so the lower the position, the safer it is. They rush to the ground floor to flee outdoors. In fact, lower floors may be completely engulfed in flames, and blind downward escape will lead straight into the fire. With the upgrading of modern fire-fighting equipment, it is a rational choice to take refuge on the rooftop or stay indoors with effective smoke and fire prevention measures while waiting for rescue.
5. Risky Jumping from Buildings
People usually make rational judgments at the early stage of a fire. Yet if the planned escape route is blocked by flames, extreme panic may drive them to jump from heights, which is extremely dangerous. The sensible solution is to stay in a safe area, call for help and wait for professional rescue.
8Fire Emergency Evacuation and Self ? Rescue Knowledge
Be familiar with your surroundings, identify locations, confirm routes and evacuate promptly.
Keep passages unobstructed, exits unblocked and doors unlocked to ensure smooth access.
Follow instructions, avoid crowding, look after one another and evacuate in order.
Call for help in case of accidents, do not delay and never chase valuables.
Protect yourself by crawling low, cover your nose with wet cloth to prevent toxic gas inhalation.
Proceed directly to emergency exits, evacuate in order and avoid elevators to prevent entrapment.
Remain calm, make use of on?site materials, create makeshift ropes and escape safely.
If fire and smoke block the path, close doors and windows tightly and seal gaps with wet cloth against smoke.
If your clothes catch fire, do not run; roll on the ground to smother the flames.
If you cannot escape alone, signal for help and wait for rescue to get out of danger.
