5 Safety steps to follow if someone is the
victim of electrical shock
Do not try to pull or grab the individual.
Send for help as soon as possible.
If possible, turn off the electrical power.
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.
After the injured person is free of contact with the source of electrical shock, move them a
short distance away and immediately start necessary first aid procedures.
