In Vinnitsa rescuers urge citizens not to go out on the thin ice
State service of Ukraine for emergency situations is reminiscent of a threatening situation, which today is observed in the reservoirs of Ukraine. Using a constant fluid temperature of rivers and lakes formed an unstable ice cover, which is a particular threat to people, particularly fishermen and children. Therefore, in order to maintain their healthy’, I or even save a life, should pam’to remember the following: - before you set foot on the ice learn the thickness of the ice cover on the reservoir, out on the ice when its thickness reaches 7 cm; for devices of the rink – not less than 10-12 cm; mass crossing on foot can be organized at ice thickness not less than 15 cm; public skating – 25 cm; * for a ferry truck – 35-55 cm, tractors – 40-60 cm; - out on the ice and walk it is safer there, where people have already passed (based on their tracks or trails). If you go out on the ice first, it is necessary to consider not dipped ice because he is always thinner where flow of warm waste water from industrial plants, growing shrubs or reeds, where the flow is quick, and b’s sources; - to make the hole for fishing worth doing at a safe distance from each other; - mandatory’sure to bring a strong rope length of 15-20 meters with a loop on one end and pukelsheim cargo on the other, two nails or a knife that will help you to get out on the ice, when suddenly provalitsya. Don't go out on the ice alone and at night. Fishing, warn relatives where you're going; - the first step to do without taking your feet off the ice, at transition on ice it is necessary to go after each other at a distance of 5-6 meters and be ready to provide the necessary assistance to a person who is ahead; - you should be especially careful to descend from the shore, because the ice may not tight’to connect with the land, any cracks under the ice may be air; - be aware of places where the ice is covered with snow. The snow that covered the ice acts as a blanket, the snow ice is growing slowly. Sometimes it so happens that across the pond the thickness of the exposed ice is 10 cm, and under the snow just 3 cm; - do not gather on ice the big groups in one place; - it is strictly forbidden to eat before and during your holiday on ice of alcoholic drinks or other narcotic or psychotropic substances. What if you fell into cold water: - do not panic, keep your composure, don't shout, if no one is around - you'll just be wasting power, do not do sharp movements, stabilise breath, avoid diving head; - raskinte hand in hand, and try to cling to the ice edge, having given to a body horizontal position in a downstream direction; - try to lean carefully a chest on edge of ice and to throw one and then the other foot on the ice; - once out on the ice, peracetates and crawl away in the wrong direction – where you came from, where the ice strength is already known, slowly crawl to the shore. Given the high probability of accidents on the ice, the State service of Ukraine for emergency situations appeals to citizens of Ukraine to refrain in those days, from entering the thin ice that had formed on the small lakes and bays of the rivers, and to warn of it of their children. Avid fishermen should also pam’to remember that winter fishing requires particularly strict safety regulations while on the ice.Source: http://uzinform.com.ua/
