First Aid

1.
Summon medical aid.
2. Do not move the victim unless absolutely
necessary, to remove him from danger.
3. Try to stop serious bleeding by using pressure
points or a pressure bandage.
4.
Loosen the victim's clothing, and keep the
victim warm.
Electrical Accidents
When performing rescue procedures for an
electrical accident, do as follows:
• Use caution: If the victim is still in contact
with an electrical-current source, remove the
power; to do this, you may need to operate
the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch
or the disconnecting switch. If you cannot
find the switch, use a dry wooden rod or other
non-conductive object to pull or push the
victim away from contact with the
electrical-current source.
•
Work quickly: If the victim is unconscious, he
or she may need:
Mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing
External cardiac compression if the heart
is not beating.
INSTRUCT ANOTHER PERSON to call for
medical aid such as an ambulance, rescue
service, or a hospital.
