# Call the emergency services and tell them: who you are; what has happened; and where you and the victims are located. # Check their body from a distance (at least a couple of yards/metres - remember, electricity can fly at high enough voltages). If there are any cables or metal objects touching them or if they are in water or a vehicle which is contacting metal/powerlines, use a plastic or wooden rod/pole to remove the metal object where possible. If you can do so safely and easily, find the switch for the power source and deactivate it. # Check their pulse and breathing; CPR may be needed. If you don't know how to perform it, wait for someone who does. If possible, place jackets/blankets/ warm layers around the victim(s) to keep them warm. Keep talking to them, on the offchance they are semiconcious.
