Lesson Overview

15.51 – What to Do If There’s a Strong Odor, Gas Leak, or Chemical Spill: When you notice an unusual smell that could be gas, smoke, or chemicals, safety comes first—never try to tough it out or guess. Open windows immediately, turn off any open flames, and step outside to breathe fresh air. If you suspect gas, do not flip switches or use your phone indoors; sparks can ignite fumes. Call emergency services or your utility company once safely outside. For chemical spills, avoid touching liquids with bare skin and ventilate the area while containing it if possible. Keep emergency numbers and cleaning supplies nearby for quick action. Learning to respond with calm precision protects everyone in the home. Over time, you’ll understand that preparation and composure prevent panic. Acting thoughtfully in dangerous situations builds the kind of confidence that transforms fear into focus and keeps small accidents from turning into serious emergencies.
