Fire prevention will be a key theme of the Single Safety Day, which will be held on September 24

The purpose of the Unified Safety Day is to prepare people for the right actions in case of fire and other emergency situations in shopping centers, concert halls, stadiums. Deputy Head of the Department of Supervision and Prevention of the Main Department of Supervision and Prevention of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Denis Zhukovsky called the top 3 factors that become the main causes of fire tragedies: errors during evacuation, panic and inconsistency of buildings with fire safety requirements.

Each head of the organization on September 24 should organize theoretical and practical training of employees in the correct actions in case of fire. At some facilities, for example in schools, events will be held with the participation of employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and firefighting equipment. In all regions of the country, 139 information platforms have been deployed in crowded places. Doctors will also take part in their work - they will tell you how to provide first aid, because the first minutes after the incident are crucial.

For those who are afraid of harming the victim with improper first aid, the head of the department of medical protection in emergency situations of the Ministry of Health Dmitry Lyakh reminds that it is better to conduct cardiopulmonary resuscitation incorrectly than not to conduct it at all: - The fact is that even incomplete pressing on the chest partially stimulates the heart to pump blood and thereby provides oxygen to the brain. The time of cell death will be delayed, which will increase the chances of survival in the absence of cardiac activity and breathing. Another important topic is crowd safety. Senior inspector for special assignments of the department for mass events of the department of law enforcement of the main department of law enforcement and prevention of public security police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Vladimir Kozlovsky recalled the rules of conduct:

- Once in a crowd, hold on to the edges, avoid narrow passageways, pillars and glass windows. Don't keep your hands in your pockets. Bend them at the elbows and press them against the torso. This will allow you to move safely. There are also profiling methods that allow you to calculate a suspicious person. A dangerous person, as a rule, is dressed out of season, he has a large bag with him, he can hide something under clothes, his eyes run and his hands shake, he sweats a lot, nervous, answers questions briefly and looks around. Such a person should pay attention and pass the information to the nearest police.
