The fear of electric shock is highest during the rainy season. That is why it is important to take some precautions. For example, when you get wiring done in your house, it should be done by a certified licensed contractor only. When you switch off the plug, never close the connection by holding the wire. For this, always switch off the switch by holding the plug. Keep the sockets in the house which are accessible to small children covered.
Unplug the electrical appliances that you do not use much. Always use good quality ISI marked appliances in your homes. This way the chances of short circuit are less. Never turn the switch on and off with wet hands. Never use cut wires. Do not use any electrical appliance in the open during rainy season.

If someone gets an electric shock during the rainy season, you should immediately take necessary steps. First of all, you should immediately turn off the main power supply. The human body is a good conductor for current. Therefore, one should not touch a person who is electrocuted until the power is completely off. If someone gets an electric shock, first of all you should call emergency medical service.
Before getting medical help, you should check the breathing of the person who has been electrocuted. If needed, you can give artificial respiration to the person. You talk to the injured person until the ambulance arrives. If there are any wounds on the body, then you can apply ointment.
