The first priority is to ensure that the power source is turned off to prevent further injury. You should not touch the person while they are still in contact with the electrical source. Administering CPR and other actions should be taken only after the power is safely disconnected.
Cooling the burn with cold running water helps to reduce pain and damage. Applying ice directly or using other substances like butter can worsen the injury. Blisters should not be broken as they protect the underlying skin.
If a person is unconscious but breathing, the priority is to place them in the recovery position to keep their airway open and prevent choking. Continuous monitoring of their breathing is essential until professional help arrives.
The primary response to a chemical spill is to ensure personal and others' safety by evacuating the area and alerting anyone nearby. Handling the spill should only be done if you are properly trained and equipped to do so, and only after ensuring that the area is secure.
An effective emergency response plan should include clear procedures for handling various emergencies and detailed evacuation routes to ensure that everyone knows how to respond quickly and safely in case of an incident.
