TREATMENT FOR ELECTRIC SHOCK

1. Switch off the electric supply immediately or send someone to do so.

2. Do not attempt to remove a person from contact with high voltages unless suitable articles insulated from the system voltages are used for the purposes.

3. When attempting to free a person from contact with low or medium voltage use rubber gloves, shoes, mat or insulated stick.

4. If these are not available use a loop of rope, cap or coat to drag the person free.

5. Always use dry and non-conducting mediums for this purpose.

6. Check the victim as soon as the conductor is separated.

7. If found breathless, put your finger in his mouth and remove any foreign matter such as tobacco, false teeth etc.., if any.

8. Also begin artificial respiration if required.

9. Try to keep the patient warm.
