A person who has been injured by contact with electricity should be seen by doctor. Here are some recommendations on what to do if someone has been shocked:
  • Don’t touch the injured person if he is still in contact with the electrical current.
  • Stay away from high-voltage wires until the power is turned off. Remember, overhead power lines usually aren’t insulated. Stay at least 20 feet away, and farther if wires are jumping, arcing and sparking.
  • Don’t move a person with an electrical injury unless he is in immediate danger.
  • Turn off the source of electricity, if possible. If not, move the source away from you and the person, using a dry, non-conducting object made of cardboard, plastic or wood. Begin CPR if the person shows no signs of circulation, such as breathing, coughing or movement.
