Tip for Whistle Users
First, blow the whistle, then yell a command. If you find yourself in a situation where you must use a safety whistle blow the whistle as loud and as long as you can. Then, as loud as you can, yell a command…. such as “help.” A whistle will get the attention of those around you but yelling a command tells others what help you need.
