In an Emergency

If someone receives an electric shock from live, indoor current shut the power off if possible at the consumer unit (fuse box).

If not, move the victim away from the current with dry wood (like a broom pole) or a dry rope. NEVER TOUCH THEM DIRECTLY

If the person is in contact with a live outdoor power line, immediately call your local electricity supply company. Do not attempt to move the person or the wire yourself, and stay at least 20 feet away from the area.

If a power line is down near your house, don't touch it! Keep utility and medical emergency telephone numbers handy and call the electricity supply company at once.
