Do not light a match, never turn on lights or electrical switches or use the telephone. The electrical current in a phone, light or electric switch is enough to spark an explosion. Don't take chances with your safety. Make certain flexible connectors are in good working condition. Whether electric lines travel alongside country roads, over mountains, across the plains, near our homes and shopping malls, or are buried in our communities, electricity is simply everywhere, and we rarely think about it.
Electricity is the most common energy source, and it is very powerful.
We encourage you to read through this section to prevent electricity-related accidents. Even though we touch on many important safety aspects, the bottom line is that you need to always stay alert around electricity no matter where you find yourself. Keep all objects, including toddlers' fingers, away from all electric outlets. To prevent injury to young children, use outlet covers. And never overload outlets.
