Electrocution
A . The engine's electrical 12 V or 24 V electrical system does not
involve the risk of electrocution, however, in the event of a
short-circuit caused, for example, by a metal tool, there is a risk
of burning due to overheating of the object through which the
electrical current runs. In these circumstances:
1. Remove the object that caused the short-circuit, using means
that provide sufficient heat insulation.
2. Switch off the power at the main switch, if there is one.
B . The electric generator systems (generator units) normally
produce high voltages that are liable to result in extremely
dangerous current levels. In the event of medium or high voltage
electrocution:
1. Turn off the power supply at the main switch before touching the
victim. If this is not possible, use equipment that is both safe and
adequately insulated when touching the victim; remember that
touching a victim of electrocution is also extremely dangerous
for the person giving aid.
2. Proceed as indicated by the competent authorities (cardiac
massage, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, etc...)
Injuries and fractures
The vast number of possible circumstances and the specific nature
of operations required means that the intervention of a medical
team is necessary.
1. In the event of bleeding, keep the edges of the wound pressed
together until help arrives.
2. If there is any suspicion of a fracture, do not move the injured
part and only move the patient if absolutely necessary.
Caustic burns
Caustic skin burns are caused by contact with extremely acid or
alkaline substances.
For electric maintenance technicians these are typically caused by
acid from batteries; in these circumstances, proceed as follows:
1. Remove any clothing soaked in the caustic substance.
2. Wash the area with lots of running water, avoiding parts that
have not been burned.
If either battery acid, lubricants or diesel come into contact with the
eyes: wash the eyes with water for at least 20 minutes, keeping the
eyelids open so that the water flows over the eyeball (move the eye
in all directions to wash more thoroughly).
