Electrical & PPEPregunta 71 de 100
What is the correct action if a coworker is in contact with a live electrical source?
a.Grab them immediately with bare hands
b.De-energize the source or use a non-conductive object to separate them, then call for help
c.Pour water on them
d.Do nothing and wait
Explicación
You should never touch a person who is in contact with a live electrical source with bare hands, because the current can pass to you. First de-energize the source if possible, or use a non-conductive object to separate the person from the source, then call for emergency help. Attempting a bare-hand rescue can create a second victim.
