Behaviour in emergencies

In the event of accidents, remain calm and considered.
Always switch off the power supply before you touch an accident victim.
If you are not able to immediately switch off the power supply, only touch the victim with
non-conducting materials (e.g. a broom handle made of wood), and first of all try to isolate
the victim from the power supply.
You must be familiar with first-aid principles in the event of electricity injuries. An urgent
need in such emergencies is fundamental knowledge of the various methods of
resuscitation if the victim has stopped breathing or if the victim's heart is no longer beating,
as well as first aid for treating burns.
If the victim is not breathing, immediately perform mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-nose
resuscitation.
If you have appropriate training, immediately perform heart massage if the victim's heart is
not beating.
Immediately call an ambulance or the emergency doctor. Provide the following information
in the following sequence:
– Where did the accident take place?
– What has happened?
– How many injured?
– What type of injuries?
– Wait for queries.
