Electrical Accidents |
Even when we're being as
careful as we can, accidents happen. If
someone does get shocked, you can help
them -- and yourself -- by remembering
the following tips:
 |
When someone receives
an electrical shock, their breathing
and heartbeat could stop. Even small
electric currents can damage or
prove fatal to the brain, heart and
lungs. Electric shocks can also burn
skin, nerves, tissue and muscles
inside the body.
|
|
|
If a person has been
shocked, whether indoors or
outdoors, do NOT touch the person or
attempt to move them. Turn off the
main source of power and immediately
call 911. If the victim is not
breathing or their heart has
stopped, be absolutely sure they are
no longer connected to the source of
the shock, then begin CPR. |
