If someone is connected to a live circuit, what should be used to safely move the victim?

Using an insulated object to safely move a victim connected to a live circuit is based on the principle of preventing electrical conductivity and protecting both the rescuer and the victim. An insulated object, such as a wooden stick or rubber-tipped tool, does not conduct electricity, thereby allowing the rescuer to push or pull the victim away from the live source without inadvertently becoming part of the electrical circuit themselves.

This method minimizes the risk of electrocution, as it prevents the direct transfer of electric current. In contrast, using a bare hand or a metal rod would pose a significant danger, as these materials are good conductors of electricity and could easily allow the current to flow through the rescuer, resulting in serious injury or death. A wet cloth would also be dangerous, as moisture increases conductivity, further heightening the risk of electric shock. Therefore, using an insulated object is the safest approach in such situations.
