Ukuphepha komlilo ekhaya

Ama-alamu entuthu noma imitshina iyasebenza noma ungezwa iphunga lentuthu. Amathiphu okusetshenziswa okufanele afaka:

• Bafake emaphaseji, ngaphakathi noma eduze kwazo zonke izindawo zokulala, ekhishini nasegaraji.
• Zihlole kanye ngenyanga. Shintsha amabhethri njalo. Enye indlela i-alamu enebhethri leminyaka eyishumi.
• Uthuli noma ukhiphe i-alamu yentuthu lapho kudingeka.

Ukusebenzisa isicima mlilo kungacisha umlilo omncane ukuwugcina ungalawuleki. Amathiphu okusetshenziswa afaka:

• Gcina izicisha-mlilo ezindaweni ezisebenzisekayo, okungenani eyodwa ezingeni ngalinye lekhaya lakho.
• Qiniseka ukuthi unesicima mlilo ekhishini lakho nesinye egalaji lakho.
• Yazi ukusebenzisa isicima mlilo. Fundisa wonke umuntu emndenini wakho ukuthi angayisebenzisa kanjani futhi. Esimeni esiphuthumayo, kufanele ukwazi ukwenza ngokushesha.

Imililo ingaba phezulu, ishe ngokushesha, futhi ikhiqize intuthu eningi. Kungumqondo omuhle ukuthi wonke umuntu azi ukuthi angaphuma kanjani ngokushesha emakhaya abo uma kwenzeka lokho.

Setha imizila yokuphunyuka emlilweni kusuka kuwo wonke amagumbi asendlini yakho. Kungcono ukuba nezindlela ezi-2 zokuphuma egumbini ngalinye, ngoba enye yezindlela ingahle ivinjelwe intuthu noma umlilo. Yiba nemishini yokuzivivinya yomlilo kabili ngonyaka ukuze ujwayele ukweqa.

Fundisa amalungu omndeni ukuthi benzeni uma kuqubuka umlilo.

• Kukhuphuka intuthu ngesikhathi somlilo. Ngakho-ke indawo ephephe kunazo zonke lapho ubalekela iphansi phansi.
• Ukuphuma ngomnyango kungcono kakhulu, uma kungenzeka. Njalo zizwa umnyango uqala ezansi bese usebenza phezulu ngaphambi kokuwuvula. Uma umnyango ushisa, kungaba khona umlilo ngakolunye uhlangothi.
• Yiba nendawo ephephile ehlelwe kusengaphambili ukuze wonke umuntu ahlangane ngaphandle ngemuva kokuphunyuka.
• Ungalokothi ubuyele ngaphakathi nganoma yini. Hlala ngaphandle.

Ukuvimbela imililo:

• UNGABHALI embhedeni.
• Gcina umentshisi nezinye izinto ezivuthayo kude nezingane.
• Ungalokothi ushiye ikhandlela elivuthayo noma iziko kunganakiwe. Ungami eduze komlilo.
• Ungalokothi ubeke izingubo noma yini enye phezu kwesibani noma i-heater.
• Qiniseka ukuthi izintambo zasendlini zisesikhathini.
• Khipha izinto ezifana nezinto zokufudumeza kanye nezingubo zokulala zikagesi uma zingasetshenziswa.
• Gcina izinto ezivuthayo kude nemithombo yokushisa, izifudumezi zamanzi, nezifudumezi zomlilo ezivulekile.
• Lapho upheka noma usosa, ungashiyi isitofu noma i-grill kunganakiwe.
• Qiniseka ukuthi uvala i-valve ethangini lesilinda le-propane lapho ingasetshenziswa. Yazi ukuthi uligcina kanjani ithangi ngokuphepha.

Fundisa izingane ngomlilo. Chaza ukuthi ziqala kanjani ngengozi nokuthi zingazivimbela kanjani. Izingane kufanele zikuqonde lokhu okulandelayo:

• Ungathinti noma usondele kuma-radiator noma ama-heater.
• Ungalokothi ume eduze kweziko noma isitofu sezinkuni.
• Ungathinti umentshisi, amalitha noma amakhandlela. Tshela umuntu omdala ngokushesha uma ubona noma iyiphi yalezi zinto.
• Ungapheki ungacelanga kuqala kumuntu omdala.
• Ungalokothi udlale ngezintambo zikagesi noma ufake noma yini esokeni.

Izingubo zokulala zezingane kufanele zilinganiswe kahle futhi zifakwe ilebula ngokukhethekile njengamelana nomlilo. Ukusebenzisa ezinye izingubo, kufaka phakathi izingubo ezikhululekile, kwandisa ingozi yokusha okukhulu uma lezi zinto zibasa.

UNGAVUMELI izingane ukuthi zisingathe noma zidlale ngeziqhumane. Izindawo eziningi e-United States azikuvumeli ukukhanyisa iziqhumane ezindaweni zokuhlala. Iya emibonisweni yomphakathi uma umndeni wakho ufuna ukujabulela iziqhumane.

Uma ukwelashwa kwe-oxygen kusetshenziswa ekhaya lakho, fundisa wonke umuntu emndenini ngokuphepha komoya-mpilo ukuvimbela imililo.
