What counts as a industrial accident warnings

Industrial accident warnings cover chemical leaks, explosions, fires and hazmat incidents at plants, pipelines or during transport. Civil protection uses siren signals and cell broadcast to tell residents to shelter or evacuate, because the correct action depends on whether the release is a gas cloud, a fire or an explosion risk.

If a warning is active

• Follow the announced shelter-or-evacuate instruction exactly.
• Close windows and doors and switch off air conditioning during a gas cloud.
• Stay upwind and uphill, and keep clear of emergency access routes.
