EELLEECCTTRRIICCAALL SSHHOOCCKK
Take IMMEDIATE action after a person has received an electrical shock. Get quick medical assistance, if possible.
The source of the shock must be quickly stopped, by either shutting off the power or removing the victim. If the power
cannot be shut off, the wire should be cut with an non-conductive tool, such as a wood-handle axe or thickly insulated
cable cutters. Rescuers should wear insulated gloves and safety glasses, and avoid looking at wires being cut. The
ensuing flash can cause burns and blindness.
If the victim must be removed from a live circuit, pull the victim away with a non-conductive material. Use wood, rope,
a belt or coat to pull or push the victim away from the current. DO NOT TOUCH the victim. You will receive a shock from
current flowing through the victim’s body. After separating the victim from power source, immediately check for signs
of a pulse and respiration. If no pulse is present, start CPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation). If a pulse is present,
respiration might be restored by using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Call for emergency medical assistance.
