- An electrical shock can kill you.
- Electricity can cause fires if it is not used safely.
Safety Rules at Home
 |
 |
 |
| Never use or touch an appliance if you can see the metal in the wire. | Never put anything other than a plug into an electrical socket, especially not metal. | Never touch an appliance with a metal object. |
 |
 |
 |
| Do not get an electrical appliance wet. | Never put too many plugs in one socket. When there is too much electricity the wires get hot and can catch on fire. | Always make sure the socket is switched off before you plug or unplug any electrical appliance. |
Safety Building Circuits
 |
 |
| Always have a way to switch the electricity off in case something goes wrong. | Don't get your wires tangled or you might not know which wire you're adding or where. |
 |
 |
| Never plug a cell back into itself. It will 'short circuit' and can get so hot it causes a fire. | Report any strange smell to an adult straight away. When electrical components get too hot you can smell something has gone wrong. |
