Yes UK uses AC so they'll usually be thrown clear if given an electric shock!. In any situation (AC/DC) it's always good to check the area first by sight before moving in , check there are no wires etc still attached to them!.!.if there are, find the electricity switch and turn it off then safely move it away from the body before proceeding with 1st AidWww@Answer-Health@Com

It depends if the person is still connected to what gave them the electric shock:
If they are you wont beable to touch them
But if they arent You might get a little bit of a shock, like static electricity!.
Generally, you won' be electrocuted yourself unless they are still touching the source of the electricity!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The only time you can't touch them is when the electric current is still passing through them!. If it is and there's no way to turn the current off, you have to find something that doesn't conduct electricity like a wooden stick to move them away before you can touch them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They must be unplugged first - seriously, they have to be no longer in contact with the power source; AND for good measure you should discharge any potential static charge you may have before even touching them!.

It is of paramount importance that the victim gets immediate medical attention!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Only once the power has been turned off, otherwise the current will pass through them too!. They may not need any first aid!. I got electrocuted and a small hole burned in my hand where I was holding the bare wire!. I really just needed a rest and a cup of tea!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not while they are being electrocuted cause you will be electrocuted too!. The human body is mostly water which conducts electricity!.Once the current if off, you can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
