Damage after electric shock
External and internal burns, heart and breathing problems and kidney failure are some examples of injuries you can get as a result of electric "shock". Some injuries can also occur some time after the accident. Such sequelae can be mental ailments, nerve damage, or musculoskeletal disorders.
Power Flow
When electricity is passed through a person's body, such as from hand to hand or hand to foot, it is called electric shock or electric shock. People who receive electric shock should always be rushed to hospital.
Report power damage
Anyone who has been exposed to an electrical accident must first and foremost contact the health service. This is important, both for medical, social security and employment law reasons.
If a person is injured in an accident caused by electricity, the injury must be reported to DSB via this electronic form. Information about electrical accidents that are reported is used for statistics and as a basis for DSB's information and awareness-raising work.
Electrical accidents that occur during working hours or at a workplace must also be reported to the Labour Inspection Authority and the police, depending on the degree of severity.
Preventing power damage
To prevent electrical damage, you should make sure that your electrical system is well maintained. Leave maintenance and extensions to qualified professionals who do the job legally.
