What should be the immediate action taken to protect the victim, if he/she is in contact with live electrical supply?

  • A.Call the ambulance
  • B.Push the victim with hand
  • C.Break the contact by turning off the power supply
  • D.Inform the neighbours about the accident

Answer: C

If a person is in contact with a live electrical supply, the first thing to do is to break the contact by turning off the power supply at once, because the current will keep flowing through the victim as long as the supply is on. Pushing the victim with the bare hand would pass the current to the rescuer, and calling the ambulance or informing neighbours may be done afterwards but would not stop the current. The answer is Break the contact by turning off the power supply, option (C).
