15. Any member of the crew
can call for or turn off the
power to the electrofisher.
16. If an accident occurs, stop
electrofishing and turn off
the power to the VVP-15C.
The remaining members
of the crew should help
or attend to the accident
victim. Get help for the
injured person if necessary.
Evaluate what happened
and make the necessary
procedural or equipment
changes before proceeding.
17. Never electrofish with
spectators on shore. Elec-
tric fields can travel large
distances through buried
pipes, metal culverts, and
metal sheet piling. If spec-
tators show up during elec-
trofishing, stop the oper-
ation and go explain what
you are doing. Explain the
risks to them being there
and ask them to please
leave for their own safety.
If they refuse to leave, stop
electrofishing, load your
equipment, and leave the
area.
