Safety Precautions for During Heavy Rains!
Here are some precautions farmers should take during heavy rains, particularly when using phones, electric panels, and while driving bikes:
1. Using Phones:
- Avoid Usage During Storms: Using mobile phones during thunderstorms can be dangerous due to the risk of lightning. It's best to avoid using phones outside during heavy rains.
- Keep Phones Dry: Ensure your phone stays dry by using waterproof cases or keeping it inside a waterproof bag.
- Emergency Preparedness: Charge your phone fully before the rains start to ensure you have enough battery in case of power outages.
2. Using Electric Panels:
- Avoid Wet Panels: Do not touch electrical panels, switches, or outlets with wet hands or if they are wet, as this can lead to electric shocks.
- Turn Off Power: In case of flooding or water near electrical systems, turn off the main power supply to prevent short circuits and potential fires.
- Use Protective Gear: If you need to interact with electrical systems during rain, use insulated gloves and wear rubber-soled shoes for added protection.
3. Bike Driving:
- Drive Slowly: Roads can become slippery during heavy rains, so reduce your speed to maintain better control of the bike.
- Use Headlights: Turn on your headlights to improve visibility and make yourself more visible to other drivers.
- Avoid Flooded Areas: Do not attempt to drive through flooded roads, as water can hide potholes and other hazards, and could also lead to engine damage.
- Check Brakes: Ensure your brakes are functioning well before and during the ride, as they may not perform optimally when wet.
- Wear Protective Gear: Always wear a helmet and, if possible, waterproof clothing to protect yourself from the rain and cold.
By following these precautions, you can reduce the risks associated with heavy rains and stay safe.
