WHAT TO DO ALARM TESTS A MAJOR EMERGENCY? END OF EMERGENCY This information is here to help you when there is a major emergency at the Modderfontein Industrial Complex. Our emergency alarm is tested every Friday 12h00. Undulating siren sounding for the first 10 minutes of the emergency. Continuous siren sounding for 10 minutes. WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU HEAR THE UNDULATING SIREN? 1 2 MOVE PEOPLE and ANIMALS INDOORS as quickly as possible. 4 CLOSE all WINDOWS and DOORS. 3 SWITCH OFF all air conditioners and ventilator fans. 5 Remain INDOORS until you are advised by media that the situation is safe, or until you hear the continuous siren. EMERGENCY SERVICES may be called in to assist in which case their INSTRUCTIONS should be FOLLOWED. THE SMELL OF GAS & THERE IS NO SIREN This means that gas may have leaked, but its intensity is insufficient to create a hazardous condition - you can smell most irritant gases at levels which do not pose a risk to your health.
