Question

the best way to save a person while being shocked is to grab and pull the person away from the electric source.

true
false

Explanation:

Analyze the rescue action

Using the Electrical Safety knowledge point, grabbing a person who is currently being shocked is extremely dangerous. The human body is a conductor of electricity. If you touch them directly with your bare hands, the electrical current will pass through them and shock you as well, making you another victim.

Identify safe alternatives

To safely rescue someone experiencing an electric shock, you must first break the electrical contact. This is done by turning off the power source immediately or using a non-conductive object (like dry wood, plastic, or rubber) to safely push the person away from the source.

Evaluate the statement

The statement claims that the "best way" is to "grab and pull the person away." Because direct physical contact will cause the rescuer to be shocked, this statement is incorrect. Therefore, the statement is false.

Answer:

• True
• False (Correct answer)
