No. Your actions depend on the voltage and the setting—and you must keep yourself safe first!

👷 Low voltage (home appliances, 240 V UK supply)
• Turn the power off at the mains before touching the casualty.
• If you can’t, push the cable/plug away using dry wood or plastic while standing on something insulated (a thick book works).
• Call 999 if they’re unconscious, not breathing normally, or badly burned. Otherwise ring 111 or go to A&E.

⚡️ High voltage (≥ 1 kV, overhead/underground lines)
• Electricity can arc up to 18 m—keep everyone back.
• Dial 999 immediately.
• Only start CPR once the emergency services confirm the power is isolated.

🌩 Lightning
• Lightning casualties do not carry a current—safe to touch.
• Call 999, start CPR if they’re not breathing.
• Treat burns, fractures and shock once safe.
