FIRST AID FOR ELECTRICAL EMERGENCIES
Electrical accidents may occur at any time or place. Including workplaces, homes, and outdoor environments. These
accidents often result from contact with live electrical currents or faulty equipment, causing injuries such as burns,
muscle contractions, or even cardiac arrest. Injury could be minimised and many lives can be saved if proper rescue
techniques and treatment are used. Timely response and treatment of victims is a major concern. When an electrical
accident occurs, resulting in muscle cramping, a victim is often incapable of moving or releasing the electrical conductor.
There should always be an emergency response plan for scheduled electrical maintenance or work.
