Electrical Safety

** Every year in India tens of thousands of people are killed or injured from contact with electricity.
** Some of these people are young Children.
** The more you know about how electricity works, the better you can keep yourself, your friends, and your family safe!

Facts About Electric Shock:
** Electricity is always trying to get to the ground. Like all good travellers, electricity takes shortcuts whenever it can. If something that conducts electricity gives electricity an easy path to the ground, electricity will take it!
** You can never tell when contact with electricity will be fatal, but you can be sure it will always hurt.
** Electric shock can cause muscle spasms, weakness, shallow breathing, rapid pulse, severe burns, unconsciousness, or death.
** In a shock incident, the path that electric current takes through the body gets very hot. Burns occur all along that path, including the places on the skin where the current enters and leaves the body.
** It’s not only giant power lines that can kill or injure you if you contact them. You can also be killed by a shock from an appliance or power cord in your home.

How Electricity Can Hurt You!
** Water is an excellent conductor. You can become electricity’s path to the earth if you are touching water that touches electricity. Electricity would travel through the water and through you to the ground.
** This is why it’s so important to keep all electrical appliances away from water, and to make sure your hands are dry and you are not standing in water when you touch anything electrical.
** It’s also the reason no one should ever use water on an electrical fire, but should use a multipurpose fire extinguisher instead.
** Appliances have protective insulated cords and coverings to keep you from contacting the electricity inside.
** It’s important to use appliances and cords the way they were designed to be used so you don’t damage the insulation or contact live electrical parts.
** If a live wire inside an appliance, toy, or power tool touches the inside of the device and you touch the device, it would be like touching a bare live wire.
** You cannot tell from the outside if there is a problem inside, so you should always act as if there were danger of shock.
