Students on energy patrols monitor classrooms to ensure that lights are turned off when rooms are vacant, which reduces school electrical costs considerably. Lighting is a good target for any school energy program because in most schools, lighting is the largest energy user consuming from 38 percent to 54 percent of total classroom energy. In this site you will find electrical safety information to help prevent injuries and fires in the home, school and workplace. It takes less than one amp of electricity to make a 100-watt light bulb glow. It takes less than that to kill you.
Electricity cooks our food, heats our homes, lights our way.
We use it so often and it is so readily available, we take it for granted. But electricity isn't harmless. If misused, it can cause shocks, burns, fires and electrocution. People die or are severely injured daily in electrical accidents, either because they don't know the dangers or aren't careful. Knowledge and caution are the keys.
