BE INFORMED

EXPLOSIONS

1. If possible, use a flashlight to signal your location.

2. Avoid unnecessary movement so that you don't kick up dust.

3. Cover your mouth and nose with anything you have on

hand. Dense weave cotton material can create a good

filter. Try to breathe through the material.

4. Tap on a pipe or wall so that rescuers can hear where you are.

5. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a

last resort - shouting can cause a person to inhale

dangerous amounts of dust.
