You first check the scene is safe. Then you check the person. Then you call 911. Then put on protective barriers such as gloves if available. Then you treat.

If a victim is bleeding what is the first thing you do before you start first aid?
Check the scene. Determine if there is any danger to yourself or other bystanders. If it is safe, begin checking the victim. If the bleeding is severe, have another bystander call 911. If you are the only one else there, call yourself. Then begin trying to stop or atleast slow the bleeding until the EMTs arrive
What should you do if someone is in electrical shock and you also suspect external bleeding?
First of all, make sure that you are safe. Then, using a long stick (wood), move the victim away from the electric source or shut down the power main, whichever is quicker and safer. Call for an ambulance. If victim is unconscious, should be treated as a trauma victim (only medical team should move and treat). If external bleeding is severe, dress the wounds (pressure dressing) without moving the victim - emphasis on the spine and head. Movement of arms - okay, legs - problematic.
What is internal bleeding?
Any bleeding that occurs inside the human body and is not visible externally, it can be extremely dangerous if left untreated. If you suspect internal bleeding call 911 or get the victim medical attention as quickly as possible. Monitor the victim for signs of shock.
