Family Safety

Keep young children safe from serious electrical injury.
Teach them never to put fingers or objects into electric outlets or
appliances. For small children, outlet covers are a good idea. Teach children
to keep electrical appliances away from water.
Teach kids these important outdoor safety tips:
-
Keep kites or balloons away from overhead power lines.
-
Keep metallic balloons indoors, as they are highly conductive.
-
Get help from a trusted adult if a toy ever gets tangled in power lines or
goes into an electric substation.
-
Climb trees only if they are far from power lines.
|
Stay away from electrical equipment.
Children should be taught the same rules as adults about avoiding power lines,
transformers, substations, and any electrical equipment. Learning to recognize
"Warning: High Voltage" signs will keep them away from potential trouble.
Basic safety training for your children can avert dangerous electrical
accidents in and around the home.
