1. Ensure your own safety before attempting to help the person affected by electric shock. Make sure the power source has been turned off or the person is no longer in contact with the electrical source.
2. Do not touch the person affected by electric shock with your bare hands, as you could also become a victim of electric shock. Use a non-conductive object such as a wooden stick or a dry towel to move the person away from the electrical source.
3. Call for emergency medical assistance immediately. Electric shock can cause serious injuries and it is important for the person to receive medical attention as soon as possible.
4. Check the person's breathing and pulse. If they are not breathing or do not have a pulse, perform CPR if you are trained to do so.
5. Do not attempt to remove any clothing or jewelry that is stuck to the person's skin. Leave this to medical professionals who can safely remove these items without causing further harm.
6. Keep the person calm and reassured while waiting for medical help to arrive. Monitor their condition and be prepared to provide any necessary first aid until help arrives.
7. Do not give the person anything to eat or drink, as they may have internal injuries that could be aggravated by consuming food or liquids.
8. After the person has received medical attention, encourage them to seek further evaluation and follow-up care to ensure they have fully recovered from the electric shock.
