What is the safety knowledge of lightning protection

Safety knowledge about lightning protection is very important for each of us, especially young people. We must strengthen the education of safety knowledge, which will also be a guarantee for our personal safety in thunderstorms. If we want to prevent lightning strikes in our lives, we should stay away from big trees, boats, and contact with conductive objects. This can prevent lightning strikes. I hope you can pay attention to this.

When looking for shelter, choose enclosed buildings; open buildings are not safe. Stay away from electrical wires, telephone lines, and water pipes within buildings as electricity can travel through them. Be sure to wait 30 minutes after lightning stops before leaving the shelter. If there are no enclosed buildings nearby and you have a car, take shelter inside. Close the windows and stay away from electrical devices inside the car.

In the absence of shelter or a car, you can only squat with your feet together and knees bent. This action can help you minimize the contact area between your feet and the ground. Cover your ears with your hands to prevent your eardrums from being injured by thunder. If there is more than one person, the distance between each other should be at least 6 meters, because if many people stand together, they are likely to be struck by lightning as a group.

Do not go on a boat if thunderstorms are expected. But if a thunderstorm comes suddenly and you cannot get off the boat, you need to turn on the engine and hide in the cabin. If there is no cabin, keep your body as low as possible and hide inside the boat. Do not touch any metal objects or use any electrical equipment.

If the victim is unconscious but still breathing, wait for help; if the victim has stopped breathing, immediately perform CPR until the victim resumes breathing or the rescue team arrives. Unless you are sure whether the victim is electrically charged, never touch the victim directly, as doing so may result in you getting an electric shock.

The above tells us in detail what safety knowledge there is to prevent lightning strikes. I believe that after reading the content introduced in this article, you should know how to prevent lightning strikes. If you encounter a lightning strike in your life, we recommend that you avoid standing under big trees and stay away from open buildings. You should choose a closed environment.
