1.3  
Emergencies 
 

Actions in emergencies  
 •   Remain calm in the event of an accident.
 •   Disconnect the power before touching the victim.
 •   If you cannot disconnect the power immediately, use a non-conducting 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 methods required for breathing/heartbeat restoration and burn treatment are essential in emergencies 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  
 1.   Immediately call an ambulance or the emergency doctor. Give details of the accident in the following order:
   -   Where did it happen?
   -   What happened?
   -   How many people were injured?
   -   What type of injuries were sustained?
 2.   Be prepared to assist the emergency services with any supplementary information they may require.
