Protocol on Mines, Booby-Traps and Other Devices

Imagine a game of treasure hunt where you have to find jewels hidden in a garden. Just like how the game has rules to follow, when people go into the field or mines, they also follow rules to ensure their safety.

Sometimes, people can be very naughty and try to make it difficult or even dangerous for others to find the treasure. For example, they might set up booby-traps (traps that are triggered when someone steps on them) or place explosive devices to harm others. These are not allowed, and it’s important to be careful to avoid them.

To keep everyone safe, there are protocols or rules that must be followed when working in mines or other hazardous environments. These protocols include wearing protective gear like hard hats, safety glasses, and gloves. It’s also important to follow signs and signals posted around the area to know where it's safe to go and where to avoid.

If you come across a suspicious object, like a package or box, it’s important not to touch it. Instead, you must immediately call for help to have trained professionals come and take care of the situation.

So, whenever you go on a treasure hunt in a garden or in a mine, there are important rules to follow to stay safe and have fun without any harm.
