    Safety measures to prevent lightning strikes during thunderstorms for the Safety Assessor Exam.

    1. When thunder and lightning are combined, feeling the stinging pain or hair standing up is a precursor to the coming thunder and lightning, and you should avoid it immediately. If you are in an open area, you should immediately squat on the ground, put your hands on your knees, keep your chest close to your knees, and keep your head down as much as possible to reduce the risk of lightning strikes. Do not use your hands on the ground, as this will increase the range of contact between your body and the ground, increasing the risk of lightning strikes.

    2. In case of thunderstorm, if you have no time to leave the tall object, you should find some dry insulation and put it on the ground, sit on it or adopt a squatting posture, and pay attention to the feet together. Keep your hands together and don't put them on the ground, and don't lie down, because the height is lowered, but the danger of "stepping voltage" increases. Water conducts electricity, so wet objects cannot be insulated.

    3. When encountering a thunderstorm on the mountain, do not take shelter from the thunderstorm at the mouth of the cave, under the boulder or under the overhanging rock, because these places will become spark gaps, and the arc generated by the current passing through it can hurt people. But the deep cave is safe, and you should try to go inside. Lone trees and isolated grass huts on the top of the hill should be avoided as they are the most vulnerable to lightning strikes.

    At this time, it is very dangerous to take shelter from the rain, especially if you stand under a low branch that stretches far to the sides. However, things are divided into two, if there is a dense forest in the wild, and there is no other lightning shelter for a while, then you can also use the dense forest to avoid lightning, because the chance of being struck by lightning everywhere in the dense forest is almost the same.

    4. When Yu Xun Town encounters thunderstorms, stay away from railways, extended metal railings and other huge metal objects. Because it is not a direct lightning strike that can be fatal, when lightning strikes a conductor, the electrical energy is released in an instant, and the arc of electricity shot out on both sides can reach several meters. In addition, the blazing electric light causes the surrounding air to expand dramatically, and the resulting shock wave can also injure people.

    Another sound from the shock wave is thunder. If heard up close, powerful sound waves can shock the eardrum and lungs, and in severe cases, can shock a person to death.

    5. In case of thunderstorm, if you are in a car, train, ship and other means of transportation, it is best to stay in the means of transportation at this time. Because the body is metal and has a shielding effect, the cabin is an ideal place to shelter from lightning strikes. However, it is best not to ride horses, bicycles, motorcycles and drive in a canopy during a thunderstorm.

    6. During a thunderstorm, if you are at home or in a building, you should unplug the outdoor antenna plug and power plug of the TV. Do not go close to the window, as far as possible away from the electric lights, wires, wires and other lead-in wires, in the building without lightning protection devices, avoid steel columns, water pipes and heating pipes, in order to prevent lightning current from penetrating into the human body through them.
