If a child has a live electrical wire in his hand...

The human body is a conductor of electricity.  The muscles in your body are controlled by very small electrical signals.

If a child comes in contact with a “live wire”, there is a tendency for the muscles to contract with force when the electrical current takes control.  If the situation is one that causes his body to freeze then the child will not be able to free himself.

You must be prepared to take quick action, all without harming yourself.

  • You can unplug the power source if the plug is near by.
  • Shut off the power at the circuit breaker panel if it’s close.
  • Grab a wooden broom handle and use it to push the child away from the electrical source.

Your quick thinking may save his life.

If the person is not breathing and is unresponsive, ask someone to call 911 and start CPR.
