Your gut screams, \u201cGrab them! Pull them away!\u201d But here\u2019s the problem: if you act on that instinct, you\u2019ll join them in the emergency, and suddenly there are two victims instead of one.<\/p>\n<p>Electrical injuries are sneaky. They happen fast, they\u2019re often silent, and they\u2019re always dangerous. The real challenge is resisting the urge to act impulsively and instead knowing the steps that save lives safely.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s talk through what to do when electricity enters the picture. Because if you know the playbook before it happens, you\u2019ll respond smart instead of shocked.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t touch them<\/h2>\n<p>It feels unnatural to just stand back while someone is in trouble, but when it comes to electricity, distance is your first defense. Assume the current is still live until proven otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Your priority is to cut the power source. Use the circuit breaker, unplug the device, or shut down the main switch if you know where it is and it\u2019s safe to reach. Never, ever grab the person directly.<\/p>\n<p>If you cannot turn off the power, look for something non-conductive, a wooden broom handle, a dry plastic chair, and use it to separate the person from the source without touching them yourself. Keep your own feet dry and avoid metal surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Remember: you\u2019re not being cruel by waiting, you\u2019re being smart. The first rescuer\u2019s job is to stay safe, so they can actually help.<\/p>\n<h2>Call emergency services immediately<\/h2>\n<p>Once the source of electricity is controlled, the next step is bringing in the professionals. Electrical injuries are not DIY territory. Call emergency services immediately.<\/p>\n<p>When you call, be specific. Say it was an electrical incident. Emergency responders will arrive with the right gear and the right expectations. Provide:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The exact location (floor, building, or site area).<\/li>\n<li>The fact that it\u2019s an electrical injury.<\/li>\n<li>The time it happened and what actions you\u2019ve taken so far.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If multiple people are on the scene, assign one person to call and stay on the line. This eliminates the all-too-common mistake where everyone assumes \u201csomeone else already called.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Check for breathing, burns, and heartbeat<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve confirmed the power is off and the area is safe, approach the person.<\/p>\n<p>First, check responsiveness. Are they conscious? Breathing? If they\u2019re not breathing normally, begin <strong>hands-only CPR<\/strong>: place your hands in the center of the chest, press hard and fast at about 100\u2013120 compressions per minute, and continue until help arrives or they start breathing again.<\/p>\n<p>Electrical injuries can also stop the heart suddenly. If an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is nearby, use it. These devices are designed for anyone to operate, with voice prompts guiding you step by step.<\/p>\n<p>Next, check for visible injuries. Electrical burns often have entry and exit wounds, small marks that indicate where the current entered and left the body. Treat these like severe burns: cover with a clean cloth, do not apply ointments, and do not pop blisters.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, watch for shock. Symptoms include clammy skin, rapid breathing, or confusion. Keep the person lying down, elevate their legs if safe, and cover them with a jacket or blanket until responders arrive.<\/p>\n<h2>Electricity doesn\u2019t always leave a warning sign<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s the tricky thing about electrical injuries: they don\u2019t always announce themselves with visible burns or dramatic symptoms. Even a \u201cminor\u201d shock can cause hidden internal injuries, irregular heart rhythms, or muscle damage.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why medical evaluation is non-negotiable. Even if someone insists they \u201cfeel fine,\u201d insist they get checked. Internal injuries may not show up immediately, and waiting could turn manageable damage into a serious complication.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, reporting matters. Logging the incident is not about blame; it\u2019s about prevention. Electrical accidents often reveal hidden hazards like faulty wiring, outdated equipment, or missing lockout\/tagout procedures. Without reporting, those hazards remain waiting for the next unlucky person.<\/p>\n<h2>Why preparation beats panic<\/h2>\n<p>In the middle of an electrical emergency, hesitation wastes time, and rushing in recklessly creates more victims. The sweet spot is preparation: knowing the steps so clearly that when adrenaline kicks in, your actions are automatic.<\/p>\n<p>According to OSHA, electrocution is consistently one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities. The majority of these incidents are preventable with proper training, hazard awareness, and quick, safe response.<\/p>\n<p>Preparation is what transforms chaos into action. It\u2019s the difference between \u201cI froze\u201d and \u201cI knew exactly what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Safety First, Sparks Last<\/h2>\n<p>Electricity doesn\u2019t give second chances, which is why preparation matters more than instinct. Our <em>Working with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlantictraining.com\/course\/working-with-electricity-basic-electrical-safety-training-course\">Electricity: Basic Electrical Safety<\/a><\/em> course builds the habits that keep you calm, careful, and effective when it counts. Because the best rescue is the one that doesn\u2019t create a second victim.<\/p>\n<h2>Have courage with caution<\/h2>\n<p>Witnessing someone get shocked is terrifying. But courage without caution helps no one. The formula is simple:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not touch them until the power is off.<\/li>\n<li>Call emergency services immediately, with clear details.<\/li>\n<li>Check for breathing, burns, and heart rhythm once safe.<\/li>\n<li>Always seek medical evaluation and report the incident.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Electricity doesn\u2019t forgive mistakes, but it does reward preparation. Train now, so if lightning ever strikes in your workplace, literally or figuratively, you\u2019ll respond with calm, confident action.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/electrical\" rel=\"nofollow\">Electrical Safety Standards<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/control-hazardous-energy\">Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout\/Tagout)<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/niosh\/electrical-safety\/about\/index.html\">Electrical Safety in the Workplace<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your instincts could get you zapped, too Picture this: you see a coworker freeze, their body tense, eyes wide, and you realize in horror, they\u2019re being shocked.
