Summer is a season when snakes are active. Snake infestations not only affect production safety but also directly threaten the lives and health of employees. To this end, Hualv Environmental Protection has once again launched the snake control work in the plant area to build a solid safety protection wall for the company.
In daily life, many friends like outdoor activities such as hiking and camping. Xiaoyou hereby reminds you to keep the following outdoor protection tips in mind:
Clothing and Equipment
-
Wear high-top boots and thick long pants. Avoid wearing sandals or shorts when entering grasslands or shrub areas.
-
Carry a long stick to "beat the grass to startle the snake" and use a flashlight for lighting at night (snakes are sensitive to light).
-
Apply sulfur ointment to the limbs or spray essential balm.
Route Selection
-
Avoid walking on overgrown paths and stay away from snake habitats such as rock piles and dead wood.
Camping Protection
-
Keep the tent zipped tightly and sprinkle snake repellent powder around it. Avoid camping near streams or caves.
What should we do if we encounter a snake?
Stay Calm
-
Slowly back away and avoid sudden movements or attacks (snakes usually do not take the initiative to chase).
Response Methods
-
Do not provoke or catch the snake (it may irritate it). You can use a long stick to push it away or contact the fire department for handling.
First Aid for Bites
-
Remember the characteristics of the snake (such as color and patterns), take photos or describe them to the doctor for targeted treatment.
-
Keep the injured limb in a low position, reduce activity, and immediately call 120 to go to the nearest hospital with anti-snake venom serum for treatment.
Wound Care
-
It is forbidden to suck the poison with your mouth, cut the wound, apply ice or tie it too tightly (to avoid tissue necrosis).
Although the appearance of snakes is a natural phenomenon, it is crucial to take protective measures. Whether it is plant control or outdoor activities, improving safety awareness and mastering correct coping methods can effectively reduce risks. Hualv Environmental Protection will continue to strengthen safety management to create a more secure working environment for employees; outdoor enthusiasts should also keep the protection points in mind to ensure their safety while enjoying nature!
