An electric live wire accident is a dangerous situation that can result in severe injuries or even fatalities. If someone gets electrocuted due to contact with a live wire, here’s what to do immediately:
Emergency Actions to Take:
Do NOT touch the victim directly – The person might still be in contact with the live wire, and touching them can transfer the electricity to you.
Turn off the power – If possible, cut off the electrical supply from the main switch or circuit breaker.
Use a non-conductive object – If you can't turn off the power, use a dry wooden stick, plastic pole, or rubber object to push the wire away from the victim.
Call emergency services (911 or your local emergency number) – Provide them with accurate details about the incident.
Perform CPR if necessary – If the victim is unconscious and not breathing, perform CPR while waiting for medical help.
Treat burns and injuries – If the person has burns, cover them with a clean, dry cloth but do not apply ointments.
Prevention Measures:
Always wear proper protective equipment when working with electricity.
Ensure power sources are turned off before performing electrical work.
Follow safety protocols and use insulated tools.
Keep a safe distance from exposed live wires.
