Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 102 and 100 in your phone. Teach children and elders how to use them.
In an industrial unit or godown, keep drums of oil and waste away from the walls and the door, and keep a clear lane for fire tenders to reach the unit.
Stay well back from a burning waste or oil store, because drums can burst and the fire can grow for hours.

On a night bus, check where the emergency exit and window hammer are before it leaves, and get out through the nearest exit instead of crowding the front door.
On the highway, never park a vehicle on the carriageway even for a short stop. Move it to the shoulder and switch on hazard lights.
Cool the burn under cool, clean running water for 20 minutes. Even 10 minutes helps if that's all you can manage. No ice, toothpaste, oil or butter.
