Electrical emergencies differ in their level of seriousness and can pose a danger to humans and equipment. It is always wise to keep a safe distance away from any wires or other equipment which are exposed or malfunctioning.
If you are unfamiliar with the equipment or the loads that it supplies, do not operate equipment.
Do not manually force equipment to operate as this could result in bodily harm or equipment damage.to avoid the risk of explosions or sparks.
Always contact an electrical expert or professional to assist, but if you must operate equipment, ensure that you are trained and wearing the correctly rated PPE.
If a person does suffer from electrical shock, make sure not to touch or go near the person until you are sure the electrical source has been shut off or removed. If the individual is not breathing, call an ambulance immediately and perform CPR until medical help arrives.
