Precautions to Take if Someone Gets an Electric Shock:

1. Assess the Situation:
Before approaching the person who received the electric shock, make sure the area is safe and the power source is turned off. Do not touch the person if they are still in contact with the electrical source.

2. Call for Help:
Immediately call for emergency medical assistance if the person is unconscious, not breathing, or has severe burns. Do not delay in seeking professional help.

3. Do Not Touch the Person:
If the person is still in contact with the electrical source, do not touch them directly as you may also get shocked. Use a non-conductive object such as a wooden broom handle to move the person away from the electrical source.

4. Check for Breathing and Pulse:
Once the person is away from the electrical source, check for breathing and pulse. If they are not breathing or do not have a pulse, perform CPR immediately if you are trained to do so.

5. Treat Burns:
If the person has burns from the electric shock, gently cover the burns with a clean, dry cloth. Do not apply any lotions, ointments, or ice to the burns.

6. Monitor the Person:
Stay with the person and monitor their condition until medical help arrives. Keep them warm and comfortable while waiting for professional assistance.
Taking these precautions can help minimize the risk of further injury and increase the chances of a successful recovery for the person who has received an electric shock.
