Escaping from a crashing or sinking helicopter is a very dangerous situation. Some actions to take to increase your chances of survival when an accident occurs in a helicopter:

- Use PPE and EBS (Emergency Breathing System) when hearing warnings from the Pilot, Crew, and Safety Officer, and when you feel that the helicopter is going to crash
- Lean forward, place your elbows on your knees, place your head on your thighs, and hold the back of your head to protect your head and spine
- When the helicopter has crashed or is already underwater, remove the safety harness and seat belt, and exit the helicopter through the nearest emergency exit or emergency window
- For security and safety, ensure that PPE and EBS are still used during the escape process
- Beware of sharp and dangerous objects during the escape process
- Stay away from the helicopter after being outside the helicopter, especially if the helicopter experiences damage, fire or explosion
- If the helicopter is underwater, find the surface of the water using your hands
- When you are in a safe position and location, check your body for wounds and injuries

Stay safe by paying attention to safety and security at the helicopter!

Ways To Work Safely In Confined Space

Confined Spaces have a variety of hazards, both atmospheric and physical. The main risks are:
- Bad air: Lack of oxygen is a big threat. Confined Spaces can have low oxygen levels due to poor ventilation, gas, smoke, and dust. This causes poisoning or respiratory problems.
- Dangerous liquids: Confined Spaces can contain dangerous liquids that can cause a person to drown and die
- Limited access: Confined Spaces have narrow entrances and exits. This can hinder and complicate rescue efforts in an emergency.
- Falls and crushes: Slippery surfaces, uneven footing, and tight spaces increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Additionally, there is a risk of being struck by a collapsing structure or equipment moving within a Confined Space.
- Extreme temperatures: Confined Spaces can become very hot or cold, causing heat stroke or hypothermia

The best way to work in Confined Spaces:
- Take the appropriate Confined Space Course before entering a Confined Space. Use the correct knowledge for working in Confined Spaces.
- Do not enter Confined Spaces alone. Work in Confined Spaces with other workers or trained professionals who know how to do the job properly and perform rescues.
- Use the right equipment to enter and exit Confined Spaces and save yourself

Since rescue attempts from Confined Spaces are very dangerous, the right way to save yourself is to call for help! If an accident occurs in a Confined Space, contact your Supervisor, Rescue Team, and other Emergency Services immediately!
