About this deal

Ask someone to call 999 if not done already. If you are alone, do so yourself. Leave the casualty if necessary but return as soon as possible. Blow steadily into the mouth until you see the chest rise. This should take about a second. If available, it is advisable you use resuscitation equipment, such as a face shield.

Accidents do unfortunately happen, and reporting is required, according to the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR). Posters detailing the correct procedures are very helpful tools in this regard. The accident reporting poster will tell you which accidents should be reported, who must do this, and gives information on how to go about it. Forms for this can be pulled out of an accident reporting book.

Exposure to electricity can cause burns to the skin, and in severe cases, the internal organs. The electricity may cause 'entry' and 'exit' burns - for example, entering via a hand and leaving via the feet.

Other injuries Muscle spasms/seizures:These may be present for some time after the exposure to electricity and indicate a seriously ill casualty. Overhead power cables are an example of a power source generating high voltage electricity. High voltage electricity has the ability to 'jump' or 'arc' up to distances of 18 metres or more. If faced with a casualty as a result of, or in the vicinity of, dangerous high voltage electricity, DO NOT APPROACH!Stay at least 25 metres away from the casualty until the power has been switched off by an official agency i.e. the Electricity Board. Cool the burn with wet dressings (or special burn dressings) after placing them in the recovery position.

Remove your mouth to the side and let the chest fall. Inhale some fresh air and repeat these steps so you have given 2 effective rescue breaths in total.
