The City of Montreal, in cooperation with 10 plants of the Agglomeration, will be coordinating the annual siren test on Wednesday, May 8, between 9 a.m. and 2:50 p.m., in order to raise awareness regarding industrial risks and to provide safety tips in case of a toxic release.
As part of this simulation, the 10 participating plants will be sounding out, one after the other, according to a predetermined schedule, ascending and descending alarms lasting three minutes each, which will be heard within a potentially exposed range. In case of an actual industrial toxic release, the emergency alarm would be followed by safety directives.
▶ In Dorval, the Dural company (550 Marshall Avenue) will sound off a first time at 10:20 a.m., then a second time at 10:30 a.m.
When the Sirens Sound: Take Shelter!
The emergency sirens are meant to warn people who are outdoors to seek shelter quickly. In case of an actual release, compliance with safety directives will ensure the safety of all and streamline the work of first responders:
Schools and Daycare Centres
School and daycare managers across the territory of Montreal that could potentially be affected by a toxic release have been informed about this type of event and are aware of the safety measures to be taken in case of a toxic release. They are able to take care of the children and to ensure their wellbeing during such events.
If you do not hear the siren at the above-mentioned time, it means that you are not in the potentially affected perimeter in case of an accidental spill. To view this perimeter, click here.
