How can we be safe from electric shock?

Likewise, people ask, how can you be safe from electric shocks?

Electric shock safety

1. Turn off power at the main breaker.
2. Call an ambulance.
3. Don't touch the victim until you are certain there is no liveelectricity. (Never move someone if they are touching a power lineor other high-voltage current.)

5. Protect kids with outlet covers.

What protects us from electric shock?

The GFCI is one device that senses a mismatch in thecurrent in the line and neutral wires. Opens and preventselectric shock. The overcurrent protective device, a circuitbreaker or fuse, are means provided to prevent overheating ofwiring as a result of an abnormal amount of current flowing in awire.
