What is the safest method to remove an unconscious person from contact with a high-voltage source?
- A Call an electrician
- B Remove the person by pulling an arm a leg
- C De-energize the power source before touching the person
- D Wrap the person in a blanket and pull him to a safe area
Correct answer: C — De-energize the power source before touching the person. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
