RULES OF FIRST AID
Personnel engaged in the installation, use and maintenance of the equipment must be
familiar with the theory and practice of first aid.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
If someone seems unable to free themselves when they receive an electric shock,
disconnect the power before trying to help. A muscle spasm or unconsciousness may
render the victim unable to free themselves from the power source.
If power cannot be turned off immediately, very carefully loop a length of dry non-
conducting material (such as a rope, insulating material, or clothing) around the victim and
pull him free of the power. Carefully avoid touching him or his clothing until free of power.
DO NOT TOUCH VICTIM OR HIS CLOTHING BEFORE POWER IS DISCONNECTED
OR YOU CAN ALSO BECOME A SHOCK VICTIM.
EMERGENCY RESUSCITATION TECHNIQUE
Step 1
Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If there is no response,
immediately call for medical assistance and then return to the
person.
Step 2
Position the person flat on their back. Kneel by their side and
place one hand on the forehead and the other under the chin. Tilt
the head back and lift the chin until teeth almost touch. Look and
listen for breathing.
Step 3
If not breathing normally, pinch the nose and cover the mouth with
yours. Give two full breaths. The person's chest will rise if you are
giving enough air.
