Electric shocks

• Always turn off the power before approaching your child.

• If this is not possible, push the child away from the source of the electricity with a wooden or plastic object, such as a broom handle.

• Try tapping their feet or stroking their neck and shouting "hello" or "wake up".

• If you get no response from your child, you must follow the resuscitation sequence.
