A strong wind in Nantong, Jiangsu Province killed 11 and injured 102 people. How to reduce casualties in case of strong winds?

Windy weather can easily cause safety accidents, so how can we reduce casualties in windy weather? Let's take a look at what should be done next.

To pay attention to safety on the road in windy weather to avoid casualties, here are the following seven points.

First, when we walk on the street, we must be careful of items falling from high altitudes. At the same time, don't get too close to old buildings, otherwise debris will easily be blown off by strong winds, and the loss will outweigh the gain if it gets hit.

Second, be careful when driving on the road. Drive slowly as strong winds can obscure vision. Don't change speed suddenly or turn corners. The distance between vehicles should be as wide as possible, and the windows should be closed tightly to prevent sand and dust from entering.

Third, when riding a light bike, you should put some heavier things on the bike. Drive slowly or you may be blown over by strong winds. Fourth, try not to ride a bicycle. If you ride in a crosswind direction, you may be knocked down by the wind. And when riding, be sure to wear a mask and gauze to protect your eyes and respiratory tract.

Fifth. Avoid placing too long distances between tall buildings, otherwise a narrow tube effect will occur. The wind speed in the lane increases sharply, causing danger.

Sixth: When driving, vehicles should pay special attention to those who are masked or running around in fear of strong winds. They generally will not pay attention to motor vehicles. It is best to stop when they encounter them.

Seventh, riders who have to travel in windy weather should pay attention to learning to dodge if they encounter obstacles in front of them but do not have time to brake. Turn the steering wheel from slow to fast. And the amplitude should not exceed half a circle. You should recover immediately after dodging so that the car can return to a stable state as quickly as possible. And when you encounter an uncertain object, especially an oncoming pedestrian or cyclist, you may not be able to hear your horn due to the strong wind. Therefore, you must not only use the horn, but also rely on headlights and your own active avoidance to avoid traffic accidents.

Methods to avoid casualties when working in windy weather

First, if you have to light a fire in windy weather, you must pay attention to keeping all flammable fires and flammable materials in the direction of the wind. Comprehensive cleanup of fuel. Splash the water again. When lighting and using fire, a guardian should be placed beside it. All staff must strictly follow relevant procedures.

Secondly, when performing outdoor high-altitude operations in windy weather, safety belts must first be strictly inspected. Make sure each component is secure. If you want to stand on a high place. Make sure the place you stand has enough weight-bearing capacity. Also, if you want to climb a ladder. There must be someone at the bottom of the ladder to assist. Lifting operations are not allowed in windy weather. Pedestrians are not allowed to stay under belt lines, cable trays and other equipment. Prevent objects from being blown down and damaged by strong winds.

Okay, that’s all for today on the things you should pay attention to in windy weather. I hope you can pay more attention to it in the future.
