DO NOT TOUCH VICTIM OR HIS CLOTHING BEFORE
POWER IS DISCONNECTED OR YOU CAN ALSO BECOME
A SHOCK VICTIM
3.6 First aid in case of electrical shock
If someone seems unable to free himself while receiving an electric shock, turn power off before rendering aid.
A muscular spasm or unconsciousness can make a victim unable to free himself from the electrical power.
If power cannot be turned off immediately, very carefully loop a length of dry non-conducting material (such as a
rope, insulating material, or clothing) around the victim and pull him free of the power.
Carefully avoid touching him or his clothing until free of power.
3.7 Emergency resuscitation technique
Step 1
Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If there is no response, immediately call for medical
assistance, and then return to the person.
Step 2
Position the person flat on their back. Kneel by their side and place one hand on the forehead
and the other under the chin. Tilt the head back and lift the chin until teeth almost touch. Look
and listen for breathing.
Step 3
If not breathing normally, pinch the nose and cover the mouth with yours. Give two full breaths.
The person's chest will rise if you are giving enough air.
Step 4
Put the fingertips of your hand on the Adam's apple, slide them into the groove next to the
windpipe. Feel for a pulse. If you can not feel a pulse or are unsure, move on to the next step.
