How to judge whether the traditional safety customs are acceptable?

Judging whether the traditional safety customs are reliable can be considered from the following three aspects:

1. Whether the content is scientific: Traditional safety customs are generally formed based on experience or ancient cognition, and whether the content is scientific is an important issue. For example, some customs think that wet towels should be used to cover your nose and mouth in case of fire, but in fact this practice is not scientific, because wet towels can not effectively filter toxic gases.

2. Is the effect beneficial to safety? The role of safety habits should be conducive to safety. For example, in the event of a fire, according to the traditional safety customs, you should climb away from the scene, but in fact this may increase the casualty rate, because harmful substances and heat in the air tend to gather near the ground, and climbing away may increase the time of contact with these harmful substances.

3. Is the safety concept advanced? Traditional safety customs generally reflect the safety concept of the society at that time. If these concepts are inconsistent with modern security concepts, then these customs may be unreliable. For example, some traditional safety customs think that we should wait for the fire to go out by itself, instead of actively putting out the fire. This concept is obviously wrong in modern society.

In short, to judge whether the traditional safety customs are reliable, we need to consider many factors comprehensively and combine modern scientific knowledge and safety concepts to judge. If you are not sure whether a customization is reliable, you can consult professional security personnel or conduct experimental verification.
