Safety Day. Attention everyone!

Everyone must know the procedure for action upon receiving the "Attention All!" signal. The widespread use of new technologies and materials, various energy sources, and the mass application of hazardous substances in industry and agriculture significantly increase the risk of man-made disasters. Modern production facilities are constantly becoming more complex and designed with a high degree of reliability. However, absolute accident-free operation cannot be achieved, which raises the question: what to do, how to protect yourself and your family in case of an emergency?

To provide timely information about all types of dangers and instructions for carrying out protective measures, a warning system has been established in Belarus, operating at the republican, territorial, local, and facility levels. Emergency warning signals are transmitted via messages through radio and television broadcasting networks, wired communication, and SMS messages to mobile phones. Sirens are also activated, and signals from vehicles and street loudspeakers are used.
First and foremost, the warning signal "Attention All!" is given to attract people's attention. It can be recognized by the sound of electric sirens and other signaling devices lasting for 3 minutes. If you hear such a signal at home, you should immediately turn on your radio or television receivers.

At this time, an emergency message is broadcast, which informs about the emergency situation that has occurred and provides all the necessary recommendations for subsequent actions.
If you are at work, turn off the equipment. Prepare the wired broadcasting nodes located in the notified area, turn on the radio or television. Inform others about the received signal and prepare to listen to the voice information. Further actions should be determined directly by these instructions.

Chemically hazardous facilities have their own local warning systems, which must be kept in a state of constant readiness to transmit signals and information. Using this system, not only the management and personnel of the facility are informed about the danger, but also the population falling into the zone of possible defeat.
Everyone should know that the main danger lies in your hasty actions. In case of a threat, first of all, remain calm, do not panic, clearly assess the situation and strictly follow all recommendations – then you will find a way out of the current situation much faster!
