a . Enlist the proper first aid treatment ( 5M )

1. If safely possible, shut off the electrical current. Unplug the cord, remove the fuse from
the fuse box, or turn off the circuit breakers if possible. Often, simply turning off the
appliance itself will not stop the flow of electricity.
2. Call for medical help.
3. If the current can't be turned off, use a non-conducting object, such as a broom, chair,
rug, or rubber doormat to push the victim away from the source of the current. Don't use
a wet or metal object. If possible, stand on something dry and non-conducting, such as a
mat or folded newspapers. Do not attempt to rescue a victim near active high-voltage
lines.
4. Once the victim is free from the source of electricity, check the victim's airway,
breathing, and pulse. If either has stopped or seems dangerously slow or shallow, initiate
first aid (CPR).
5. If the victim has a burn, remove any clothing that comes off easily, and rinse the
burned area in cool running water until the pain subsides. Give first aid for burns.
6. If the victim is faint, pale, or shows other signs of shock, lay the victim down, with the
head slightly lower than the trunk of the body and the legs elevated, and cover the person
with a warm blanket or a coat.
7. Stay with the victim until medical help arrives.
8. Electrical injury is frequently associated with explosions or falls that can cause
additional traumatic injuries, including both obvious external injuries and concealed
internal injuries. Avoid moving the victim's head or neck if a spinal injury is suspected.
Administer appropriate first aid as needed for other wounds or fractures.

b. List of appropriate training for the employees to evade incidents at workplace. ( 5M )

1. Always be alert on the job , being awake and alert all the time while at work will not only
prevent accidents from happening at work. It will also enhance the performance of the worker
and can even earn him a promotion or a salary increase. Most of the people who become
involved with accidents at work are those who feel sleepy while working.
2. Wear the required uniform A person who works in a factory has a greater chance of being
involved in an accident at work. Thus, he should be more vigilant about the wearing of proper
uniforms and other protective garments when working. Never take safety to chance so always go
to work with the proper dress code. If your work requires you to wear a hardhat helmet then
wear it.
3. Always follow the safety program of your workplace , employers are responsible for the wellbeing of their workers while at work so they have installed safety programs which the employees
should follow. Employees can avoid an accident at work if they follow the safety program
mandated by the employer.
4. Always be on the lookout for possible cause of accidents and then report it to the
management , there are workers who are already aware of a disaster waiting to happen but they
refuse to see the warning and go on with their work. If you see telltale signs of a possible cause
of accident at work like a ceiling that is about to give way or a stairway thats about to give way
then you should report it to the proper authority immediately. Do not wait for the accident to
happen as it might happen to you.
5. Listen and actively participate during emergency drills , conduct emergency drills to make
sure their employees know what to do in cases of emergencies so as to avoid accidents.
