Safety Training And How To Keep Safe

Safety and safety training are for everyone. We all dread being in a scary and dangerous situation. Recently with the plane crash in Greece, and the crash landing of another airline at LAX airport, there is a lot of talk about plane safety and safety training for pilots, stewardesses and passengers. Luckily, no one was hurt in the latter of the two incidents. However, everyone on the first crash was killed. There are certain safety procedures to follow before, during and after a crash landing, and personnel have to go through rigorous safety training to not just guide you through, but keep you calm, all while dealing with the fact that they might perish. The safety training is the easiest part. Facing the fact that it may be your last flight is just a little more scary.

Safety Training Procedures:

In the event of a crash landing, there are certain procedures you must follow. These safety measures are designed to keep you from getting hurt -- hopefully -- in such an event. Here's are those procedures:

Before descent:

Return tables and trays to their upright and locked positions.

Clear trash from your area and unblock aisles and emergency exits

Take off all sharp objects

Fasten Seat belt

During descent:

Put head between knees

Hold on tight

Make sure seat belt is fastened

Do not lift head

After landing:

Remain with head between knees until otherwise instructed

Remain seated with seat belt secured

File out of airplane quickly one by one; do not push

If using chute, cross hands over chest and jump; slide down to safety

Quickly move away from airplane

Many people have had the experience of a crash landing. It is both terrifying and exciting. But the pilot and staff have adequate safety training and know what they are doing. You are in good hands.
