       Risk Assessment “Fire Protection on Site”) and reviewed to ensure the plan is adequate if needed,
       and this to be instigated by the site management team and safety committee – review and amend
       as required the Fire/Emergency Control Structure Procedure in this section and provide training
       to the members of the Control Structure.

   6. For an electrocution emergency:
           a. Person first on the scene, notify site foreman/ first aid officer – check power has tripped
                or is isolated – if isolated – assess condition of patient – if capable needs to be assessed
                by a doctor immediately. If not capable – call 000 – implement first aid procedures.
           b. If the power has not tripped and can’t be isolated – call 000 – contact site electrician - use
                a piece of timber or a non-conductive piece of material to move the patient away from
                the power source – DO NOT TOUCH the patient – when clear of danger implement first
                aid procedures.
