      Electrical Emergency


      Electric Shock
      • If someone comes in contact with a live electrical source, do not go near them or touch them. If you touch the person, you will also be electrocuted.
      • Switch the power off, either at the source of the power or at the main power switch.
      • If you can’t turn the power off due to the danger of being electrocuted, use an unattached object such as a broom with a dry wooden handle, to push the person away from the source of shock.
      • Immediately phone 111 for an ambulance in the case of an electrocution.
      • Perform first aid procedures such as CPR. If you are not familiar with the first aid procedure, follow the directions given to you by the emergency operator until help arrives.

      Electrical Fire
      • Never tries to put out electrical fire by throwing water. Immediately call the fire department on 111.

      Fallen Electrical Wires
      • Stay away from any fallen electrical wires.
      • Seek for assistance by calling your local electrical supply network company.


      Please find your region to see your local electricity supply network company and check planned and unplanned outage updates in your area.
