ELECTRIC SHOCK AND IT MANAGEMENT

in #stach7 years ago

Hello steemians,domestic electricity is of low voltage while high tension wires are of high voltage.The victim may remain attached to the source of current or throw off.
MANAGEMENT
Do not touch the victim if he or she is still incontact with the source or else you will get electrocuted too.For domestic electricity(low voltage);if in contact with the source,switchoff the current,pull off the fuse or plug.if none is possible,get your hand dry,stand on dry material such as wood,newspaper or rubber slippers and using a dry piece of wood,rubber or plastic,push the victim off the contact.
For the high voltage,if victim is close to the source,do not go near him or her at all because the air around will be heavily charged.Ask someone else to alert PHCN or NEPA workers to switch the current off in that area,while you stay around and observe the victim,apply mouth to mouth artificial respiration,if he or she is not breathing and external heat message of the heart has stopped.Rush to the hospital immediately.The image gotten from google.received_553569151659395.png
