Electric Shock - 5 Steps to Manage It

The first place your child pokes a finger as soon as he learns to crawl in an electric point. Electric shocks in and around the house are a common enough occurrence. A few basic precautions can prevent them.

· All electric sockets within the reach of the child should be sealed with a tape. Easily removable plastic covers for the sockets are available in the market, use them.

· It is desirable that electric points be placed far above the ground, well beyond the reach of small children. Electrical appliances should be kept on a high platform.

· Miniature Circuit Breakers (M.C.B.) and tripping devices must be installed in all homes.

What should be done in case of an electric shock?

The harmful effects of the electric shock are related to the current flowing through the body rather than the voltage. Alternating current in more dangerous than the direct current.

1. Switch off the power instantaneously. If the child is in contact with a naked wire remove it with a piece of wood, plastic or a roll of newspaper or magazine. Never use your bare hands.

2. Most of the cases of electric shocks in the home are of minor nature. If the child is conscious and has no burns, assurance is all that he needs. Cuddle him and point out his mistake gently. At this moment he is likely to be more receptive to your uttering. It is always better to strike when the iron is hot!

3. If there are external burns marks they should be treated as in Burns (Chapter 15). The child should be taken to the doctor who will get the wounds dressed. He will also be able to assess whether there is any internal damage. If the burns are severe or there is any damage to the organs the child must be hospitalized.

4. A very severe shock can lead to stopping of heart and respiration. Immediately start mouth-to-mouth breathing (see appendix) and rush the child to the hospital.

5. Rarely a child may start convulsing as a result of electric shock. Severe convulsions can cause damage to the spine. These children should be shifted to the hospital under careful medical supervision.

Energy Saving Device

Saving energy is becoming more recognized because of rising energy costs. Since our cost for electricity is not getting any cheaper, we as consumers have to find alternatives. Because of this, companies are inventing ways for renewable energy.

One of the ways is a device that easily installs next to your breaker panel and saves up to 25% monthly on electric bills. Not only is this a smart move to save money but it also helps our environment. It works by storing the leftover energy you already paid for, to use in the future the next time you turn on an appliance or anything in the home with a motor.

We would all agree- It's bad enough to pay the high energy prices for energy we do use, but what's worse is paying for energy we never used, wasted energy! wasted money!

I wonder why the energy companies never told us that?
