Safety
First Aid: Electrical Shock
IMMEDIATE action must be initiated after a person has received an
electrical shock. Obtain immediate medical assistance if available.
The source of the shock must be immediately removed by either shutting
down the power or removing the victim from the source.
If it is not possible to shut off the power, the wire should be cut with either
an insulated instrument or by a rescuer wearing electrically insulated
gloves and safety glasses. Whichever method is used do not look at the
wire while it is being cut. The ensuing flash can cause burns and
blindness.
If the victim has to be removed from a live circuit, pull the victim off with a
non-conductive material.
DO NOT TOUCH
the victim! You can receive a shock from current flowing
through the victim’s body.
Use the victim’s coat, a rope, wood, or loop your belt around the victim’s
leg or arm and pull the victim off.
After separating the victim from power source, check immediately for the
presence of a pulse and respiration.
If a pulse is not present, start CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) and
call for emergency medical assistance. If a pulse is present, respiration
may be restored by using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but call for
emergency medical assistance.
