What is personal security? Ways to ensure personal safety

Live out of danger, live without danger, live in the confidence that every new day does not prepare unpleasant surprises, is such an idyll possible? Full and one hundred percent, of course, not, because the dangers of a different kind lie in wait for us everywhere. But, having brought up a certain (safe) way of thinking, you can deal with them with minimal damage to yourself and others.

The first elements of what personal security is, it is necessary to inspire children of kindergarten age. Yes, and the wise adults, accustomed to blaming all the troubles of circumstances, bad people and "rake" who independently and climb under their feet, it's time to learn to ripen to the root and start to regard each situation as the result of their actions - right or wrong.

"Behind every corner of danger: lurking and waiting" ...

No, this is not a scarecrow for the faint-hearted, but the most vital fact: all the benefits, like a medal, necessarily have two sides. Take, for example, life. Electricity is one of the benefits that ensures the comfort of human life. And while it manifests itself as a favorite telecast, a functioning washing machine or a cozy boiling kettle, we love and respect it.

But as soon as there is a short circuit that disables all household appliances, and even serves as the cause of the fire, we begin to curse electricity, what is the light on, completely without thinking: what does it have to do with it? But have not you, man, overlooked and repaired the faulty wiring in time? Did you yourself become the source of this misfortune?

And so - in most cases. The personal safety of everyone is easily shifted to someone's shoulders and just as easily entered into the guilt of someone or something. Although just and necessary: be more careful, more attentive, more legible in acquaintances and, "for every firefighter," to know several protective techniques.

Types of danger

To be able to win, it is necessary to know the enemy in person, to understand where and how he comes from, and what consequences can remain after meeting him. Not wanting to listen, wrapped up in a blanket, thinking: "With me this can never happen," we knowingly condemn ourselves to defeat and to the unenviable role of the victim.

This is a very rich people's personal security - the work of the hired guard, they have nothing to worry about is not necessary. And what about the rest?

First, stop being afraid of every rustle, but do not lose your vigilance.

Secondly, remember what kinds of danger there are, from whom or from what they can proceed, and how to resist them.

At the heart of the danger is always a certain factor:

• Natural (cataclysms of all kinds: landslides, earthquakes, storms, rains, heat, snowfalls);
• Social, it's also human (road accidents, criminal crimes or tragedies of "apartment scale": gas not switched off, forgotten hot iron, smoking in bed);
• Technogenic (major accidents at enterprises).

Rules of personal safety Usually people seem to be something akin to a table of chemical elements: everyone knows that it exists, everyone once taught it (or tried to teach) and nobody uses it seriously in everyday life.

Online carelessness

How scammers love gullible people! As far as they are subtle psychologists, able to calculate from the crowd the most unprotected (in most cases - unprotected)! What is the quality of selected noodles on the ears, if only "your money has become ours!"

Observe personal safety measures, even when visiting online stores. A popular type of shopping can turn into a bitter disappointment: they took the money, the goods were not sent, they did not answer the calls, evaporated, disappeared. And what is most insulting: they are almost impossible to find, such "owners" of outlets are changing phone numbers in batches, register their stores under fictitious names. For such a procedure, there is no need for a passport and recommendations - good, site designers are now full.

Personal security can be in jeopardy if you are too fond of making online acquaintances, while staying in the rainbow confidence that all people are charming, that everyone on the other side of the monitor is only dreaming of creating more good for their neighbor or that somewhere somewhere you have been waiting for a fabulous Prince (princess). Communication on dating sites is only permissible through correspondence and only within the bounds of decency.

If you are openly lured to a real tete-a-tete, without really introducing yourself, or refuse, or take all the measures of personal safety - it may be a trap.

Lessons of safety for the youngest

Ensuring personal safety His child - this is perhaps the number one job for all parents.

Kids are very friendly, kind and trustful. A set of these excellent qualities can serve a disserviceable service, appearing on the way of the child a bad uncle or aunt with bad intentions. And such, unfortunately, enough - the crisis gave rise to a lot of sophistication (and perverts) who do not shy away from earning the most innocent creatures on Earth.

When you tell your child why you can not leave the lights and gas on, what can happen if you do not wear a swimming vest in the pool or on the river, why should you wash your hands before eating, proceed (but very carefully and delicately) to the topic "strangers".

In a game form, tell the child a story about one girl (take on her role as a doll for clarity), which did not obey parents, opened the door to strangers, took candy from them, gave a mobile number and agreed to ride a beautiful car in the water park. And the strangers turned out to be bad people, they wanted to give the girl Babe-Yage (Barmaleya) to be torn apart, but her parents searched for her along with the police and found her.

Try to make the final of the story happy, and the plot held the little child in suspense. Children perfectly remember Rules of personal safety, if they were filed in an accessible form for them.

Safe road

The richest for a variety of emergency is traditionally the carriageway. Statistics of accidents indicate the number of auto accidents, far exceeding the railway and air accidents. Why is that? Why, leaving or leaving on a busy road, people completely forget about the rules and begin to hurry, overtake, run over, hoping for a chance.

Well, there is no such rule of personal safety, designated by this primordially Russian word!

The main factor in the occurrence of an accident is nervousness and unjustified aggression on the part of both the driver and the pedestrian. The most minor mistakes made by other road users lead the drivers out of themselves, plus traffic jams that prevent them from getting to work on time - 30% of the traffic accidents are due to the fact that the driver set out to "win" a piece of the road several meters in length.

Therefore, the first of all road rules: be mutually and keep calm - thus you can save and life.

My home is my castle?

It is impossible to be sure of your own safety even within the walls of your apartment. Logically, the house simply has to be the safest place, but according to statistics, it is at home that the overwhelming majority of accidents happen: fire, gas or natural gas, poisoning with chemicals that are part of medicines or detergents.

Fundamentals of life safety - this is the subject of the school curriculum, and "unsatisfactory" for it, often, parents receive. The reason is negligence.

Personal safety OBZH - a valuable science to acquire valuable knowledge for maximum security in everyday life and during emergencies. But nobody believes that it can be used in practice. Hence all the problems.

Victims of street robbers

The most common of the criminal situation is robbery on the street. Usually, an attacker finds a "suitable" victim, and at the moment when she does not expect an attack, she snatches from her hand a bag, a purse, an expensive electronic gadget.

Often, the robbers are not ashamed even of the presence of several witnesses nearby, who, as a rule, have not seen or remember anything, and just to chase after a "bandyuk" - this is not in the majority's minds.

And though personal security in criminogenic situations is an important nuance, no one has yet abolished the help of his neighbor. Especially if he is confused, glowered and in prostration.

The law enforcement agencies confirm the fact that such crimes, though difficult to disclose, but not hopeless, therefore the best way out is to write a statement, describe the offender, interview witnesses. Perhaps the perpetrator will sooner or later be brought to justice. The main thing is not to limp, but to act.

Fear and panic - turn off!

More dangerous than any hurricane in nature is a mixture of fear and panic in the soul. People are destroyed not so much by the elements as by their inability to confront them, and the terror in them, somewhere in the subconscious, is horrible.

True, fear also has a positive side - it includes in a person the instinct of self-preservation, does not allow leading foolhardiness. But as soon as fear passes over the line beyond which the imagination disappears, and with it - and the ability to soberly assess the level of danger, it must be disposed of, otherwise it threatens to degenerate into the most dangerous of its hypostases - hysteria, for example.

Man always and in all circumstances should be psychologically strong. Usually, with such individuals nothing bad happens.

Ensuring the personal safety of the OBE is based on the same: warned - means armed. In principle, compliance with simple measures (switching off electrical appliances, not swimming for buoys, not walking alone in poorly lit streets) should be done automatically.

If an accident occurred

Extraordinary incidents can happen literally on level ground, and then personal safety One person or a group of people is directly threatened. In order to avoid panic and, as a consequence, even more stress, one or more people need to improvise and make quick decisions, control themselves and the state of others, do not lose courage and do not let others do it.

Ordinary helpers

This section is for women. They are most susceptible to attack for the purpose of robbery. How to protect yourself with the things of everyday use, which can be in your purse?

First advice: personal safety of a person is, undoubtedly, the most important in any situation. But if you are attacked, do not be afraid to hurt the attacker - he deserves it. Think about yourself.

Umbrella. Quickly pull it out of your purse and open it between yourself and the attacker, creating a barrier. If its end is sharp - it's great, you can damage the attacker's face or neck somewhat and temporarily disable it.

Notepad can be used as a means of protection, striking the face with sharp angles.

Hair spray. Spray the intruder in the eye. Balloon can also be thrown to someone in the window or into the car to trigger an alarm, and thus attract the attention of third parties. Another way - spraying the varnish, you can burn it in parallel - you will get a mini-flame thrower, after which the attacker will forget about his intentions.
