PROTECTION FROM INDIRECT LIGHTNING STRIKE
When a person is out side of area which has good lightning rod instalation, it is hard to recommend and prescribe conficiently protective measures from lightning strike. General recommendation is to take any cover, and for this activity stays between 5 and 10 mins after we hear first weak thunder. The best covers in that situation are cars, railroad wagons or abandoned houses. In many cases we don't have option to find safety in closed places. In that case is recommended to "lower" our own height. It is good to find cover in some ditch or under a tree.

PROTECTION FROM DIRECT LIGHTNING STRIKE
People can suffer damages from lightning strike if they are near some objects that have malfunction lightning rod instalation or don't have lightning rod instalation at all. If we are inside an object that doesn't have lightning rod instalation, it is recommended that we stand in the middle of object, far away from walls as possible.

For protection of people near the lightning rod instalation, sometime we use metal panel because it prevents appearance of touch and step voltage. During setting metal plate we need to have in mind that it must be connected with metal rod. It is also important that both, metal plate and metal rod have much smaller resistance than human body so the current doesn't passes through it.
