How to Escape If Trapped in a Walk-In Freezer
______________________________________________________

1. Tap several times on the door to get someone's attention.


2. Check the door and lock area.
   By law, all walk-in freezers must have an emergency release switch on the interior.


3. Locate a power switch.
   Some units may have an accessible on/off switch. Turn off the cooling element.


4. Locate boxes.
   Tear cardboard boxes apart and spread them on the floor.


5. Look for insulating materials.
   Lie down on the cardboard and cover yourself with paper, foam, or straw to preserve body heat.


6. Tap on the door every 15 minutes until help arrives.
