Emergency Electrical First Aid
Free download · 85 × 54mm (credit card size)
Electrical injuries require specific first aid responses that differ from general first aid. This pocket card provides a clear 6-step emergency response procedure for electrical shock and burn injuries: isolate the supply, call emergency services, assess the casualty, administer CPR if needed, treat burns, and monitor for delayed symptoms. The front includes key lethal voltage and current thresholds (>50V AC, 30mA across the heart) that every electrical worker should know. The back covers AED (defibrillator) usage steps, recovery position guidance, a critical "DO NOT" list for electrical injuries (never touch the victim if the supply is still live), and emergency phone numbers for Australia (000), UK (999), USA (911), and international (112). Laminate this card and post it in every switchroom, workshop, and site office. Keep one in your wallet. It could save a life.
