what do you do if a colleague is electrocuted

what is the correct course of action if your colleague is electrocuted when using a 230V drill?

I suspect this a college question, and wonder whether you have a textbook with a section on health and safety?

Does your teacher want you to think about the answer, research it, or just have you recite it parrot fashion? I'm not sure whether asking UKPF for the answer counts as research or copying though, which is why I'm reluctant to start to discuss.

When I was at college, one answer offered by one of my peers was 'laugh?', by the way.

The first thing to do would be to think about what not to do.
Another is to do the most basic and probably the most important of all Emergency situations.

I`ll tell you what not to do> Do not touch either the drill nor the colleaque before doing something else, now you go figure the rest.

Disconnect power supply to drill.

Grab his wallet and take photos of his credit cards, replace wallet and then perform CPR if necessary.

Re set the breaker and finish off what you are doing.

Seriously though, bit of background from where the questions are coming from. Are we doing your college homework for you?

 

[Ben-gee]

We aren’t your Mum and Dad, do your own homework!
