1 Common sense of safety precautions during vacation

• The best way to strengthen prevention is to unite and take care of each other among neighbors. When encountering strangers loitering near your residence, be sure to be extra careful and call the security and emergency hotline if necessary. Take good care of public anti-theft facilities, close public anti-theft doors, do not lend the keys to friends, and do not open anti-theft doors for strangers.
• Before going out and going to bed, don’t forget to check. The doors, windows, exhaust vents, and air conditioning vents of the home should be regularly inspected, and if damaged, they should be replaced in a timely manner. When entering or leaving the house, the doors should be closed and locked at will. Don’t give the key to an immature child. Especially when going out and before going to bed, it is important to carefully check for any loose doors and windows. For doors and windows facing the street and those that are relatively avoided, they should be reinforced appropriately. Building residents should close doors and windows (with the kitchen, bathroom, and balcony being key areas).
• Money is deposited in the bank, and the password is memorized. Do not store a large amount of cash, passbooks, account numbers, and passwords at home. The password should be kept in your mind or other secret notebook, and should not be placed together with your ID card.
• Marking items means you’re not afraid of theft. If specific and indelible marks are engraved on valuable items, it will be difficult for criminals to sell and can effectively protect their property.
• When the whole family goes out for a short time at night, it is best to turn on a light or turn on the TV. When the whole family goes out for a long time, they should greet the property management, deliberately take care of them, and dry some clothes on the balcony, making it difficult for criminals to judge whether there are people in the house, so they dare not act rashly.
• Once a theft is discovered or occurs, do not panic, and do not easily turn over the scene. Call the police quickly.

2 Common sense of safety precautions when staying at home alone

• Look back before entering to prevent strangers from following. When you encounter strangers in the stairwell, elevator, or unit entrance, be careful and alert, especially when entering the house. Do not enter the building with strangers. If necessary, ask who to look for to prevent sudden attacks.
• When encountering strangers, ask questions before opening the door. When children or women are alone at home and need to open the door to strangers for reasons such as checking water, electricity, gas, house repairs, elevator repairs, borrowing items, or promoting products, do not open the door casually and immediately notify the security if necessary.
• People who are not familiar with the details should not be taken home casually. Do not casually tell strangers about your residence, specific workplace, phone number, etc.
• If a suspicious object is found, promptly inform the security or call the emergency hotline. For the elderly and children, when they cannot guarantee that their calls will receive assistance from their neighbors, they should remember to call blindly to avoid being killed.

3 Common sense of fire safety preventions

• Call the police early. After a fire breaks out in your home, don’t panic. Report the fire alarm early. The earlier you report it, the less damage you will suffer. The alarm should be clearly stated, including the residential area, location, building and house number of the household, as well as the type of property on fire. Please leave your contact number and quickly get in touch with the security. The security will guide the firefighters to put out the fire.
• Quick escape. When escaping, cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel, wet clothes, wet cloth, etc. When the smoke is thick, you should crawl forward with your knees and elbows on the ground. When escaping with the baby, gently cover their face with a damp cloth and crawl out. Close the door of the burning room tightly before escaping.
• Do not take the elevator. The fire starts from the beginning and burns fiercely in just over ten minutes, while the smoke blocking passage only takes three or four minutes. Due to the narrow space of the elevator, air circulation is not good. At the same time, to prevent sudden blockage caused by a fire, do not take the elevator at this time and evacuate quickly through the fire stairs.
• Close the doors and windows. The staircase has a chimney effect on the road, and the pulling force is very strong. If there is a fire downstairs, the doors and windows should be closed, and damp blankets, clothing, etc. should be used to block the gaps in the doors and windows.
• Do not jump off the building. The stairwell was filled with smoke, and after the only way out was sealed off, people mistakenly chose to jump off the building. But when jumping from a height of over ten meters (three stories high), there are few survivors, and the most important thing is to seek help. If smoke enters the room, people can go to the balcony, close the doors and windows in reverse, use a damp cloth or mask to avoid smoke, and wait for rescue.
• Can save oneself. Below the second floor, you can hang a bamboo pole on the balcony and grab it to slide down. Use a rope or tear the sheets or curtains into long strips to make a rope and slide it down. You can hold a pillow or cushion for a soft landing.
• Frequently use electrical appliances and pay attention to fire prevention. Ensure quality. Use qualified wires, power sockets, and electrical equipment. Do not randomly pull or connect wires. The wires inside the ceiling should be laid in conduits, and do not connect multiple electrical appliances to one socket. For high-power appliances, try to use dedicated lines as much as possible. The appliances should not be used for a long time, and the power must be cut off when there is no one at home.
• Regularly check. Regularly inspect electrical circuits, replace aging or damaged insulation layers in a timely manner, and check whether the circuit joints are firmly connected.
• Do not overload. To calculate the total power of household appliances, check whether the electrical circuits, switches, meters, fuse boxes, etc. can meet the requirements of the household appliance load. If it cannot be met, it should be replaced in a timely manner.
• Keep away from flammable materials. The heating parts of household appliances must not be close to flammable and combustible materials, and chargers should not be charged when there is no one at home.

4 Common sense of gas safety preventions

• Pay attention to ventilation. When using a stove for heating or a gas water heater for bathing, do not close doors and windows too tightly. Pay attention to ventilation and air exchange, and it is best to leave ventilation holes on the windows.
• To prevent blockage and air leakage in the flue, it is necessary to regularly inspect the flue and chimney of gas pipelines and gas appliances. If gas leakage is found, it should be repaired in a timely manner, and if blockage is found, it should be cleared in a timely manner.
• Neighbors should take care of each other every day. Once poisoning occurs, it can be detected and rescued in a timely manner.
• In case of gas or liquefied gas leakage at home, first turn off the gas main switch and liquefied gas main valve, open doors and windows to allow natural air circulation, do not turn on lights, do not make phone calls or use mobile phones indoors, do not turn on or turn off household appliances to avoid generating electric sparks and causing explosions. Evacuate the elderly and children quickly, notify the security at a safe place, call the police, and remind surrounding neighbors to prepare accordingly.
• If someone experiences gas poisoning, they should be rescued as soon as possible. Open the doors and windows, ventilate and move the poisoned person to a place with fresh air, let them lie down, unbutton their clothes and pants, wear a blanket, and prevent them from catching a cold. For people with mild poisoning, they may be advised to drink some strong tea, fresh radish juice, and mung bean soup. People with respiratory failure and those who have stopped should actively undergo artificial respiration. If the poisoning is severe, it is necessary to immediately send the patient to the hospital for rescue and treatment.

• When the weather is hot, do not open the door wide for temporary coolness, which is especially important for residents of bungalows or lower floors. The passage leading directly to the rooftop should be properly closed to prevent criminals from sneaking into the indoor area through the rooftop.
• The key should be carried with you and not thrown around. If the key is lost, the door lock should be replaced in a timely manner.
• Don’t hang the keys of your home around your child’s neck, as this can create opportunities for criminals to cheat their child’s keys.
• Be cautious when making friends, and family members, especially teenagers, should not bring strangers into their homes casually.
• Hiring a nanny requires finding a reliable person, verifying their ID card. Safety education should be provided to the nanny, and strangers should not be allowed to enter the house when the owner is not at home. If the nanny terminates her job and her salary is settled, the door lock key should be retrieved, preferably replaced with a new one.
• To maintain good neighborly relationships and take care of each other, be extra careful when encountering strangers loitering near your residence. If necessary, monitor, investigate, or call the police.

• When going out at night, it is best to have two or more people walking together. Criminals won’t have an idea of you if they see many people are together with you. If sometimes only one person can go out at night and the journey is long, please do not walk in remote alleys with few pedestrians. Instead, take a detour and walk on roads with lights and frequent pedestrians, or walk on streets with concentrated residential areas, because in the event of an accident, nearby residents will hear cries for help in a timely manner.
• When riding a bicycle out, also pay attention to preventing criminals from stealing your valuable jewelry. Some people mistakenly believe that riding a bicycle is faster and passing through remote areas for only a few minutes will not cause any accidents. This kind of lucky thinking is unacceptable.

9 Common sense of non-vehicle and vehicle anti-theft safety preventions

• To prevent theft of bicycles, electric bicycles, and motorcycles, the most important thing is to overcome complacency. When leaving them, be careful not to be bothered, and it is particularly important to lock them anytime and anywhere. This is also the minimum that should be done to prevent vehicle theft.
• Vehicles should be parked in dedicated carports and garages. If there are no carports or garages, other preventive measures should be implemented.

• When parking a motor vehicle, do not be afraid of trouble. Even if it is a short stop, take away the cash, valuables, and bags in the car to prevent theft by someone smashing the glass.

• Be proactive in preventing theft. By observing and identifying theft criminals, we can more effectively prevent theft. In crowded places, some people squeeze back and forth among the crowd. Generally speaking, in crowded places, passengers want to squeeze out as quickly as possible, while theft criminals tend to squeeze into more crowded places with more people. In addition, the thief did not bring any luggage or belongings. The eyes kept observing the surroundings, and as soon as they spotted the target, they walked back and forth, waiting for the opportunity to commit the crime. Therefore, it is important to observe certain situations and be good at thinking about certain issues in daily life, which can be helpful in ensuring your safety when going out.
