FIRST AID PROCEDURES

In case of acid contact with the skin, eyes or clothing, flush
immediately with a mixture of clean water and baking soda for a
minimum of 15 minutes. Know where the first aid station is located.
If acid is accidentally swallowed, drink large quantities of milk or
water, followed by milk of magnesia, a beaten egg or vegetable oil.
Consult a physician immediately.
First Aid for Electric Shock
The longer a person remains in contact with an electrical current, the
less chance he or she has for survival. The victim's breathing may
stop and his or her body may appear stiff.
1. Break the electrical connection as quickly as possible without
exposing yourself to the current.
2. If the current cannot be turned off, use a wooden reach pole or a
dry board to remove the wire or push the person away from the
wire. Stand on a dry surface while doing this. Do not touch the
person or wire with your bare hands until the electrical
connection is broken.
3. Summon medical aid.
4. If the person has stopped breathing or his/her heart has stopped
pumping, begin CPR procedures and continue until help arrives.
5. If the person must be moved, take proper precautions.
Be sure to immobilize injured parts. Pull the person lengthwise
(never sideways). If possible, use a stretcher or cot.
