Motor vehicle accident prevention and escape knowledge

Essential Tips for Taking a Train:

In case of an emergency while on a train, it's important to know how to respond. If you find yourself in a dangerous situation inside a vehicle, use the hammer provided to strike one of the four corners of the window near the frame. This method is more effective than hitting the center of the glass.

For laminated glass, which is designed to stay intact even after cracking, the first step is to break the outer layer. Once that’s done, carefully pull down the inner film to fully break the glass and create an escape route.

Each fire compartment on an EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) is equipped with a fire alarm button and an emergency brake button. These are located near the inner ends of the car. Pressing these buttons will alert the driver and crew, triggering a buzzer alarm. It's crucial not to press them unless necessary.

In the event of a fire, passengers can manually open the partition doors to isolate the affected area. This helps prevent smoke from spreading and allows those in the safe zone to assist in extinguishing the fire.

If there's an emergency in the restroom, including accessible toilets, the SOS button should be pressed. Many people confuse this with the flush button, so always check the label before pressing.

Emergency Escape Tips for Electric Trains:

In the event of an accident, immediately crouch down and hold onto something sturdy to avoid being injured by flying debris. Lower your head and tuck your chin to your chest to protect your neck and head.

After experiencing sudden jolts or shaking, if the train stops moving, it means the train has come to a halt. At this point, quickly assess your condition and prioritize self-rescue if injured.

Don’t stay in one place after the train stops. The situation may change rapidly. Use the safety hammer located near the window to break the glass and escape. If the hammer isn't available, use high-heeled shoes or sharp objects as alternatives.

If you're trapped and unable to exit, contact the outside world immediately. Clearly state your location and what’s happening to ensure help arrives quickly. Stay calm and avoid panic.

Remember These 8 Important Escape Points:

Emergency escape windows are located in each carriage, marked with red dots. A safety hammer is placed nearby. When an emergency occurs, grab the hammer and strike the red circle to signal your position. The glass is specially treated to reduce shattering and prevent injury.

The emergency brake valve is used when the train poses a danger to traffic. Pulling it outward and downward will trigger an alarm in the driver's cabin. This is typically operated by the driver, but passengers can also use it in emergencies.

Protective nets are installed to keep doors closed in case of failure. If the train is running or stopped and the door is hanging, avoid standing near it to prevent falling.

Fire alarm and emergency brake buttons are found in each fire compartment. They are positioned above the inductive inner ends. Pressing them alerts the crew and triggers an alarm. Only use them when necessary.

Emergency ladders are available for use when the train stops at non-station locations. Passengers can be evacuated to the ground. Follow staff instructions and move in an orderly manner to avoid accidents.

Safety ferry boards are used to transfer passengers between trains. When the train stops, the board is placed between the doors of two trains. Ensure the train is stable before crossing.

Fireproof partition doors can be manually opened to block off the affected area. This helps contain fires and prevents smoke from spreading to other compartments.

The SOS button in the bathroom is for emergencies. Make sure to read the label to avoid confusion with the flush button. Always use it only when needed.
