As you treat an Airman for an electrical burn caused by a wiring short in a piece of flight line equipment what should you remember to do?

1) Disconnect the power by shutting off the service disconnect before you begin treating him.
2) Check for an entrance or an exit wound caused by current flow. These are not usually life-threatening but can be serious.

What were stirrup pumps used for in World War 2?
Uesd for putting out fires caused by incendiary bombs, part of fire watcher equipment
How did the development of new technology affect world war 2?
RADAR and many other new technologies helped to defeat the Japanese and Germans because they did not have as sophisticated equipment of the same items as the Allied Forces had. The Atomic Bomb technology caused the Allied Forces to win in the Pacific.
What conflict has Hitler caused?
He caused World War 2.
What caused the Battle of Shiloh?
slavery caused the battle Shiloh also Tennessee started it
How is dysentery caused?
Dysentery is a bowel infection caused by a pathogen. Bacterial, viral or protist.
As you treat an Airman for an electrical burn caused by a wiring short in a piece of flightline equipment, you remember to?
check for an entrance and exit wound
What is the importance of computer assembly?
It's important because not only will it not work properly. But can also cause damage to the equipment or the individual. Many electrical fires are caused by incorrect use/assembly of electrical equipment
How do you treat for an electrical burn caused by a wiring short in a piece of equipment?
The first thing you need to do to treat an electrical burn is to rinse the area with water. After you have it rinsed, cover it with a bandage.
What is an electrical fault?
Some people will define the cause of an electrical fault as a "short circuit" but that is too simple an explanation because it doesn't explain how it is caused. An electrical fault is the name given to any situation where some electrical current goes where it was not intended to go. This situation can be caused by damage to the protective insulation around a wire - or around some other part - which puts the wire or part in contact with a different wire or part that it was not designed to touch because a difference in voltage has to exist between them to allow an item of electrical equipment to do its work. If an item of electrical equipment gets dropped accidentally - or if something else hits it violently - that action can easily damage the insulation material or close an air gap that was designed to keep two parts electrically separate within that item of equipment. Another way an electrical fault can be caused is by physical deterioration of some insulation. Such deterioration can be caused by many factors such as, for example, the temperature of the equipment being too high or if some unprotected equipment is exposed to wet or damp conditions. Such factors can put stresses on the insulation which it was not designed to withstand and it breaks down and causes an electrical fault to occur. If an item of electrical equipment (or an electrical wiring circuit which connects different pieces of equipment together) is properly designed, then, if an electrical fault occurs, protective circuit breakers should trip and/or fuses should blow to stop the flow of any excessive current that is the result of the electrical fault, thus helping to prevent any fires and/or explosions from happening because the fault occurred.
What causes an electric humming sound in equipment?
The sounds are caused by the oscillations of the frequency changing from positive to negative when voltage is applied to electrical equipment.See related links below.
Electrical energy is caused by the movement of?
it is caused by water particles
What is electrical surg?
Also referred to as "spikes," electrical surges are sudden, brief rises in voltage and/or current to a connected load. They may originate inside or outside any home or business. Standard household equipment operating at 120 volts can be damaged by surges of 500 volts or greater. Indoors, they're generally caused by major equipment, such as your air conditioner or refrigerator, switching on or off. Outdoors, they can be caused by incidents involving electric lines, neighbors using heavy power equipment or power equipment failures. Lightning most often causes them during seasonal electrical storms. Without some type of surge protection, excess voltage goes into your appliances or anything plugged in and can cause damage. You may not notice damage at the time a surge occurred, however, over time it will shorten the life of your appliances.
Which Seizure disorders are caused by electrical disturbances of the brain?

Why is water not used for extinguishing caused due to electrical faults?
because we will get shock
How do you reset a GFI?
To reset a GFCI you need to first correct any ground faults in the circuit - or some other other fault in the equipment and/or its flexible cord and/or its plug - being protected by the GFCI, which is causing an imbalance in the currents flowing in the hot and neutral wires. Ground faults are usually caused by wet electrical equipment. Then you need to press the RESET button on the GFCI.
