How to treat an electric shock
What to do if you believe someone has received - or is receiving an electric shock?
It may not be immediately clear that someone either has received or is receiving an electric shock. Smoke is unlikely to be pouring from their ears! If it is suspected that a person is suffering from electric shock, anyone coming to their aid should approach with extreme caution.
Back up Generators
We seem to be experiencing a lot of powercuts lately, mainly due to thefts from substations. After returning home with the monthly shop of frozen food and yet another powercut enough was enough. We purchased a generator, http://tinyurl.com/337upwz (Medusa Site Generator T2401).
So its set up to run the fridge freezer in an emergency, however I wanted to ask a couple of questions that you guys might be able to assist with.
