Care for shock victims
August 1st 2006

Reportable injuries to employees, resulting from contact with electricity or electrical discharge amounted to 434 incidents in the 2004/05 period (figures collated through RIDDOR). Four people died and 75 suffered a non-fatal yet major injury.

Providing basic life support training and secondary injury care training is important as even a low voltage electric shock can result in a cardiac arrest.

Kays Medical says that it would be beneficial for companies to have an Automated External Defibrillator available for employees working with electricity as it could increase their chance of survival in the event of shock. In addition to First Aid and Electric Shock training, Kays Medical offers an AED course.
