Safety precautions in cold weather

When the weather is cold, some people start to wear scarves, some people start to put hot pots at home, and some people add electric blankets to themselves. However, Bian Xiao reminds you here that you must pay attention to safety when doing these things in the cold winter.

1, long scarf.

It is cold in winter, so when going out, scarves have become a necessity for many people. A comfortable scarf is really much warmer around your neck, but why should you pay attention to safety when wearing a long scarf?

When we wear scarves, we always miss a piece and throw it around. If we walk on the side of the road, or ride a two-wheeled vehicle, it is easy to be scratched by cars on the side of the road or our own wheels, causing safety accidents.

Similar accidents happen almost every winter, so we must pay attention to them. When there are many outdoor vehicles or riding a bike by yourself, try to avoid the leaking part of the scarf being too long. If possible, it is best to stuff the leaking part into the clothes.

2. Burn hot pot or use charcoal to keep warm at home.

When the weather is cold in winter, eating hot pot to warm up has become a choice for many people. But when burning hot pot with charcoal, we must pay attention to the ventilation of the house, including using charcoal to keep warm in the house. Once the air is not ventilated, it is easy to cause safety problems because of the high concentration of carbon monoxide.

Similar situations have caused many problems. Recently, it was reported that a couple in Changsha burned hot pot with charcoal at home, but forgot to turn off the fire after using it, and the air circulation in the house was not smooth. Both of them were poisoned because of the high content of carbon monoxide produced by burning charcoal.

3. Sleep in an electric blanket.

Electric blankets also have many problems. It was previously reported that an old man in Jiangsu slept with an electric blanket on all night, and the electric blanket caught fire unexpectedly, causing the old man to leave.

Some people say that the quality of electric blankets is much better now than before, so there should be no problem. In fact, when people are sleeping, it is still risky to turn on electric blankets. Pay attention to the risks of fire and electricity leakage.

Electric blanket is really the best choice to warm the bed in cold weather in winter, but please remember to turn off the power to sleep after warming the bed to ensure the safe use of electric blanket.

4, down jacket directly thrown into the washing machine to wash.

Down jackets are not thick enough for cold weather. When cleaning, we feel very annoyed. A down jacket soaked in water cannot be lifted by one person. However, don't be lazy to wash your hands.

Generally, the washing method is clearly marked on the washing label inside the down jacket. The down jacket marked "Not Machine Washable" must not be lazy and washed directly with the washing machine. In the process of machine washing, this down jacket is prone to safety problems in the process of high-speed drying due to its own weight and air that may be generated inside.

5. There is no ventilation when taking a bath with a gas water heater.

Water heaters and liquefied gas tanks of gas water heaters are strictly prohibited in the bathroom; When using gas water heater to take a bath, never close the doors and windows too tightly, especially the doors and windows of the bathroom, and try to keep indoor ventilation.

If there are poisoning symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, dyspnea, and confusion during bathing, you should immediately open the window for ventilation and move to a fresh air place to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed.

Well, these are some problems that we need to pay attention to when it is cold in winter.
