Rescuers should wear safety protection appliances (articles) correctly before entering the workshop for rescue and ensure good ventilation and flushing dilution measures.
Operators should be familiar with the physical and chemical properties of ammonia (the physical and chemical properties should be marked separately in a prominent position in the workshop) to improve the ability of self-rescue and protection.
