FIRST AID IN CASE OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
If someone seems unable to free himself while receiving an electric shock,
turn power off
before rendering aid. A
muscular spasm or unconsciousness can make a victim unable to free himself from the electrical power.
If power cannot be turned off immediately,
very carefully
loop a length of dry non-conducting material (such
as a rope, insulating material, or clothing) around the victim and pull him free of the power. Carefully avoid touching
him or his clothing until free of power.
EMERGENCY RESUSCITATION TECHNIQUE
Step 1
Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If there is no response,
immediately call for
medical assistance
, and then return to the person.
Step 2
Position the person flat on their back. Kneel by their side and place one hand on the
forehead and the other under the chin. Tilt the head back and lift the chin until teeth almost
touch. Look and listen for breathing.
Step 3
If not breathing normally, pinch the nose and cover the mouth with yours. Give two full
breaths. The person's chest will rise if you are giving enough air.
