What To Do in an Emergency

Actions in emergencies
Remain calm in the event of an accident.
●
Disconnect the power before touching the victim.
●
If you do not know how to disconnect the power, use a nonconducting object, such as a
●
wooden broom handle, to push or pull the victim away from electrical contact.
First aid
Be familiar with first aid for electrical shock. Familiarity with the various resuscitation meth-
●
ods required for breathing/heartbeat restoration and burn treatment are essential in emer-
gencies of this kind.
Administer resuscitation immediately if the person is not breathing (mouth-to-mouth or
●
mouth-to-nose).
If you are trained and certified, administer cardiac compression if the heart is not beating.
●
Calling for help
Immediately call an ambulance or the emergency doctor. Give details of the accident in the fol-
lowing order:
Where did the accident happen?
●
What happened?
●
How many people were injured?
●
What type of injuries were sustained?
●
Be prepared to assist the emergency services with any supplementary information they
●
may require.
1.4.6

Reporting Accidents
