 This poster is a complete quick-guide for Electrical Emergency Safety. It's designed for workplace training - what it is, how to react, and how to prevent it.

1. Top header - The core message

"Electricity can't be seen, but it can kill!" - That's why electrical risk is so dangerous. You get no warning like you do with fire or moving machines.

What is an electrical emergency?

Any unexpected event with electricity that can cause injury, fire, equipment damage or death. The poster shows a damaged cable sparking.

Common Types - 5 icons on the right:

Electric shock - current passing through a person

Electrical fire - caused by overheating, overload

Arc flash (thermal burn) - a sudden, intense flash of light/heat from a fault

Short circuit - wires touching where they shouldn't, causing spark/fire

Downed power lines - fallen overhead lines, still live on the ground

2. Middle left - WHAT TO DO IN AN ELECTRICAL EMERGENCY (5 steps in order)

1. ENSURE YOUR SAFETY FIRST

Do not touch the victim or the source. You will become the second victim. Keep distance, assess, and if there's fire, evacuate immediately. That's the "DO NOT TOUCH" graphic.

2. ISOLATE THE POWER SUPPLY

If it's safe, turn OFF the main switch or circuit breaker. Don't risk your life to do it. Power off = hazard gone.

3. CALL FOR HELP

Alert your supervisor / emergency team, then call emergency services - 112 / 999 / 911. Give clear info: location, what happened, how many people are hurt.

4. GIVE FIRST AID (IF SAFE)

Only when power is confirmed OFF. If the person is not breathing and you are trained, start CPR. If they are still in contact with electricity, do NOT touch them.

5. CONTAIN THE SITUATION

Stop others from entering, put up "DO NOT ENTER" tape. Use a fire extinguisher only if you are trained and it's the right type for electrical fire - never water. Keep the area clear for responders.

3. Right side - Prevention

KEY PRECAUTIONS

Regularly inspect cords, plugs, equipment

Use properly rated fuses and breakers

Keep work areas dry and hazard-free

Never overload sockets or extension leads

Follow LOTO - Lockout/Tagout before maintenance - that's locking power off so no one can accidentally turn it on

Only qualified, authorized personnel should work on electrical systems

DO NOT

Do not use water or wet hands on electrical equipment - water conducts

Do not touch fallen power lines or damaged cables

Do not attempt repairs without training and authorization

Do not ignore unusual sounds, smells or sparks - they are early warnings

Do not use damaged tools, cords or equipment

USE THE RIGHT PPE

Hard hat (arc rated where required)

Eye & face protection - for arc flash

Insulated gloves

Safety footwear - non-conductive

4. Bottom footer

"A SMALL MISTAKE CAN LEAD TO A BIG DISASTER. Be alert, be prepared, be safe!"

And the final line: SAFE PEOPLE | SAFE EQUIPMENT | A SAFER TOMORROW

In short: Don't touch, switch off, call for help, then help the person and secure the area. All the Do's and Don'ts are about making sure you don't create a second emergency while trying to fix the first one. 🗼🚦🚨🌡️⚠️🏗️🦺🚧⛑️
