First Aid, Electrical Shock
Take IMMEDIATE action after a person has
received an electrical shock. Get quick medical
assistance, if possible.
The source of the shock must be quickly stopped,
by either shutting off the power or removing the
victim. If the power cannot be shut off, the wire
should be cut with an non-conductive tool, such as
a wood-handle axe or thickly insulated cable
cutters. Rescuers should wear insulated gloves
and safety glasses, and avoid looking at wires
being cut. The ensuing flash can cause burns and
blindness.
If the victim must be removed from a live circuit,
pull the victim away with a non-conductive
material. Use wood, rope, a belt or coat to pull or
push the victim away from the current. DO NOT
TOUCH the victim. You will receive a shock from
current flowing through the victim’s body. After
separating the victim from power source,
immediately check for signs of a pulse and
respiration. If no pulse is present, start CPR
(cardio pulmonary resuscitation). If a pulse is
present, respiration might be restored by using
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Call for emergency
medical assistance.
