Disconnecting a person (mock victim) from a live supply (simulated)

1 Observe the person (mock victim) receiving an electric shock. Interpret the situation quickly.
2 Remove the victim safely from the ‘live’ equipment by disconnecting the supply or using one of the items of
insulating material.

3 Move the victim physically to a nearby place.
4 Check for the victim’s natural breathing and consciousness.
5 Take steps to apply respiratory resuscitation if the victim is unconscious and not breathing.

Note: Do not run to switch off the supply that is far away.
Do not touch the victim with bare hands until the circuit is made dead or the victim is moved away
from the equipment.
Push or pull the victim from the point of contact of the live equipment, without causing serious
injury to the victim. (Fig 1)
