Do not throw objects up into power lines, which can cause short circuits that could result in injuries. This includes items you might not consider conductive, such as ropes and strings. Only qualified electric utility workers should attempt to move downed power lines. We use electricity to prepare our meals, to heat and cool our homes, to keep our homes neat and clean, and for lighting and entertainment. Electricity helps make living and working in the home easy, safe and fun - every day.
Electricity is also very powerful and can be dangerous if used improperly.
If you come in contact with an electrical current, there is no warning, and there is no time to react. Therefore, children should be taught from an early age to always keep fingers and other objects away from electrical outlets. Also, never pull a plug out by the cord. And, remember, outlets overloaded with too many plugs can cause a fire. It always pays to be careful with electricity - especially near water.
