SPOT THE SAFETY DANGERS!
Grades 3-7

1. Tell students that electricity is a great resource, but it can also be a danger. Share with them these rules to prevent injury and fire:
  • Always have a parent help you with electric appliances and cords.
  • Let a parent or adult know if there's a problem with an outlet, wire, or other electrical appliance. Never use an electrical cord that is broken or has wires showing.
  • Don't play with electrical cords.
  • Don't stick fingers or any other objects into electrical outlets.
  • Don't overload outlets with too many plugs.
  • Don't pull on cords to unplug appliances. Hold on to the plug itself.
  • Don't touch an electrical appliance while wet or standing in water.
  • Don't play near electrical equipment or power lines. Don't throw things over power lines.
  • If you see a power line down, tell an adult to call 911. STAY AWAY!
