5 Safety steps to follow if someone is the
victim of electrical shock
Do not try to pull or grab the individual.
If you cannot turn off the electrical power, pull, push, or lift the person to safety using a
wooden pole, rope, or some nonconductive material.
If possible, turn off the electrical power.
Send for help as soon as possible.
After the injured person is free of contact with the source of electrical shock, move the per-
son a short distance away and immediately start necessary first aid procedures.
