Childproofing
- When children are in the home, it is a good idea to prevent them from tampering with electrical sockets. Kids are somehow fascinated with the sockets on the wall. The holes in the sockets are inviting for children to stick objects or fingers into. The shock the child will receive from these outlets can be very dangerous. Placing childproofing plugs in all open outlets could save a life.
Emergency Response – Electric Shock
- When a person experiences a severe electrical shock with more than 15mA of current, the victim cannot let go of the electrical source.
- The proper way to conduct first aid in the event of an electrical shock is to shut off the current. No one should make direct contact with the victim.
- Using a wooden board or leather belt or another non-conductive item to pull the victim away from the current.
- The responder should immediately check to see if the person is breathing and begin CPR if not. Calling 999 immediately is also necessary.
