Procedures to follow during Accidents
●
In the event of an accident stay calm and proceed with caution.
●
Turn off the power before touching the victim of an electrical accident.
●
If the power cannot be shut down immediately, use an object made of a non-conductive
material such as wood to touch the victim and isolate him/her from any electrical current.
First Aid
●
You should have knowledge of the first aid principles to follow for victims of electric shock.
In the event of an emergency of this kind, it is critical to know CPR in order to help victims
who have suffered cardiac arrest or who have stopped breathing. It is also essential to have
basic knowledge of the kind of first aid administered to burn victims.
●
If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose resuscitation
immediately.
●
If you have had proper training and the victim’s heart is not beating, promptly commence
a heart massage.
