Safety and First Aid

Personnel engaged in the installation, operation, maintenance, or servicing of electronic

equipment are exposed to the hazard of high voltage. It is imperative that all safety

regulations and precautions are consistently observed. Knowledge of first aid

procedures is recommended. The following information is presented as a reference

only.

• At all times, avoid placing any part of the body in series between ground and circuit

points, whether power is on or off.

• Dangerous voltage may be present in equipment even though power is off. Do not

open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

• It is the duty of all personnel to be prepared to give adequate emergency first aid

treatment and thereby prevent avoidable loss of life.

• There are three principle degrees of burns, recognizable as follows:

• a first-degree burn reddens the skin.

• a second-degree burn blisters the skin.

• a third degree burn chars the flesh and frequently places the victim in a state of

shock accompanied by respiratory paralysis.

• Respiratory paralysis can cause death by suffocation within seconds. It is

imperative that the approved methods of artificial respiration are initiated

immediately and continue until the victim’s breathing is normal.

• A muscular spasm of unconsciousness may render the victim unable to break free of

the electric power. If this is the case, turn the power off immediately.

DO NOT TOUCH THE VICTIM OR YOU MAY SHARE THE SAME

PREDICAMENT.

• If the power cannot be turned off immediately, very carefully loop a dry rope, article

of clothing, length of strong cloth or a rolled-up newspaper around the victim and pull

the victim free of the power source. Carefully avoid touching the victim or clothing.

• Once free of the power source, the victim must be placed in a reclining position and

covered with a blanket or newspapers to keep warm. At the first opportunity, enlist

help in summoning a doctor. If a doctor cannot be summoned, transport the victim

to the doctor or a hospital. Be sure the victim is kept well covered and warm while

awaiting professional treatment.
