Have you ever witnessed a colleague electrocuted at work? Would you know what to do?
Ensure your safety: Do not touch the victim if they are still in contact with the electrical source. Turn off the power supply if possible.
Call emergency services: Dial 999 immediately and request an ambulance. Provide clear details about the incident and the location.
Check for responsiveness and breathing: If it is safe, check if the colleague is responsive and breathing. If they are unresponsive and not breathing, begin CPR if you are trained to do so.
Remember, prompt action can save lives and prevent further injuries.
