1 Ensure Your Safety: Do not touch the person if they are still in contact with the electrical source.Ensure your
own safety by turning off the power source if it can be done safely, or disconnecting the power supply.
2 Call for Help: Dial emergency services immediately (e.g., 108) to request professional medical assistance.
Provide clear information about the situation and follow any instructions given by emergency services.
3 Do Not Touch the Person: Do not touch the person until you are sure the electrical source is disconnected
to avoid becoming a secondary victim.If you can’t turn off the power, use a non- conductive object (such as a
dry wooden broom handle) to move the person away from the electrical source.

4 Check for Responsiveness: Assess the person’s responsiveness. If they are unresponsive, check for
breathing.If the person is not breathing, start CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) if you are trained to do so.
5 Administer First Aid: If the person is breathing, check for other injuries, such as burns or injuries from falling.
Administer first aid for burns by cooling the affected area with cold water. Do not use ice.
6 Keep the Person Warm: Cover the person with a blanket or clothing to keep them warm. Be cautious of
moving the person if there is a possibility of a spinal injury.
7 Stay with the person: Stay with the person until professional medical help arrives.Monitor their vital signs and
provide reassurance.
8 Inform Authorities: Report the incident to relevant authorities, such as the local health and safety department,
for further investigation.
9 Prevent Further Incidents :Once the immediate emergency is addressed, investigate the cause of the electric
shock to prevent future incidents.Ensure that all electrical equipment is regularly inspected and maintained.
10 Seek Professional Medical Evaluation: Even if the person appears to recover, seek professional medical
evaluation to assess potential internal injuries or complications.
Burns: in a salon can result from various sources, such as hot styling tools, chemicals, or other heated equipment.
Responding promptly and appropriately to burns is crucial to minimize damage and provide effective first aid.

1 Ensure Safety: Ensure the safety of the person experiencing the burn and yourself. If the source of the burn
is still active (e.g., a hot styling tool), remove it from the person or turn it off.
2 Cool the Burn: For thermal burns caused by heat (e.g., hot tools, liquids), cool the affected area immediately
with cool running water for at least 10 minutes.Do not use ice or very cold water, as it can further damage the
skin.
3 Remove Constrictive Items: If clothing or accessories are not stuck to the burn, carefully remove them to
prevent further injury.However, do not attempt to remove anything that is stuck to the burn.

4 Cover the Burn: Cover the burn with a clean, non-stick bandage or cloth. Avoid using adhesive bandages
directly on the burn.
