First aid ☆Note points for first aid Unless there is impending danger, leave the electrocution victim where he or she is, then begin artificial respiration. Once you begin artificial respiration, you must continue without losing rhythm. Make contact with the victim cautiously, there is a risk that you may get electrocuted. Switch off the machinery and then move the victim away slowly if you must.
