FIRST AID IN CASE OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
When a victiin struck by electricity is found, first switch off the equipment
via the main switch on the equipment or the ship's distribution board. If
this is not possible, protect yourseif with dry insulating material (a wooden
plate or rod, cloth, your belt, etc.) and pull the victim clear of electricity.

yourseif beside the victim's head and pinch
his nose by your thumb and forefinger to
prevent air leakage. Insert the thumb of
your other hånd between the victim's teeth
and lift his chin up. Then, place the arm
(the one closing the victim' s nose) on the
victim's forehead and press the head down
so that the victim ' s head is given a
maximum backward tilt with the chin
prominent and the neck hent back. Seal
the victim' s mouth with your mouth and
blow tlierein about half of the deeply
inhaled air every time. After exhaling.
turn your head to watch for a chest
