What should I know about electrical safety?



Electricity can be dangerous:
  • Never put anything into an electrical outlet.
  • Never take apart or try to fix electrical things.
  • Tell a trusted adult immediately about any electrical appliance that starts smoking, smells funny, or makes sparks or funny noises; unplug it quickly if you can.
  • Don't climb power poles or anything near a power line.
  • Don't fly kites near power lines.
  • Don't have anything that has a power cord near bathtubs, sinks, or puddles of water.
