While within a barricade, how should a person behave?

A person inside a barricade should occasionally move about to mix the air. This behavior is important because stagnant air can lead to a buildup of harmful gases or a lack of oxygen, especially in confined or poorly ventilated spaces. By moving around, an individual helps to promote airflow, which can improve air quality and reduce the risk of hazardous accumulations. Movement can also keep the individual alert and aware of their surroundings, which is critical for safety in potentially dangerous environments such as those encountered in mining operations.

Remaining completely silent and stationary would not promote safety; it could potentially lead to dangerous conditions if air quality deteriorates without any action taken by the individual. Loud communication could disrupt the environment or cause panic, while frequently walking in and out of the barricade may put the individual at risk, especially if the area is unsafe or if they are not taking necessary precautions.
