Depending on the nature of the products involved and the quantities involved, the accident may take the form of a fire, an explosion or the release of toxic or radioactive materials.
Follow instructions in the event of an alert or accident
At or near the scene of an accident, move quickly away from sources of danger (flames, smoke, gas odors, unpleasant fumes, etc.) and encourage others to do the same.
In the event of an alert or accident, follow the instructions of the authorities. These instructions vary according to the nature of the event. This may involve taking shelter inside a building when shelter offers sufficient protection. On the other hand, it may be necessary to evacuate the affected area if taking shelter offers no protection.
