Science Activity 2: Using Electricity Safely – E-learning Day 2

Hi Ladies,

Accidents, similar to the ones that you have read today, are reported in newspapers from time to time. Do you agree that those accidents can actually be avoided if one is careful when using electricity?

How can we use electricity safely? Share you ideas with your friends by posting your comments now!

Regards, Mrs Eunice Phee

    I know that when you want to switch on or off something that have electricity , you cannot use your wet hand to switch on or off because maybe you will get electrical shock .

    Dear Mrs Phee,
    We should keep our fingers away from the metal parts of a plug,do not touch wires withought a rubber casing,after a wash dry our hands then touch the electrical appliances,do not keep radios or hairdryers beside our bathtub with water because we can get electrocted! If we do these simple things we can keep away fom danger!!!

    Dear Mrs. Phee,
    Here are some indoor safety tips:

    Keep appliances like hair dryers away from water-filled tubs and sinks.
    Unplug appliances before you clean them.
    Use only appliances and equipment approved by Underwriters Laboratories (look for the UL listing on the label), or other recognized testing laboratories.
    Don't overload outlets with cords. If your TV picture shrinks or flickers when major appliances go on, or if fuses or circuit breakers blow frequently, you should have your circuits and wiring checked.
    Never unplug or carry anything by its cord. And don't run cords under carpets or furniture; the cords can overheat and cause a fire.
    Make it a habit to unplug small appliances when they're not in use, and push them to the back of your counters. And make sure you use all three prongs of your electric plugs, and replace worn or frayed cords immediately. Never force a plug into an outlet if it doesn't fit, and never nail or tack cords to walls or floors.
    Teach your kids not to poke things into electrical outlets, toasters, or any other appliances, whether they're on or off. Use plug covers or inserts in all your outlets.
    Keep electrical cords away from kids' reach. Teach them that electricity and water never mix. Keep all radios, hair dryers and other appliances secured or out of bathrooms.

    Here are some outdoor safety tips:

    If you have overhead electrical service, watch out for the drop line from the utility pole to your house. Don't hit it with implements or let other wires touch it. Be particularly careful when you are unloading materials from your car or truck.
    Overhead power lines might look insulated. They aren't. The dark color may be weather protection or oxidation... Not insulation. And even an insulated line may have flaws in the insulation, and contact could mean serious injury. Keep away! If you must work near power lines, contact us or the utility involved before you start work. Ask that safety measures be taken, or the lines de-energized. We want to work with you to make sure you work safely.
    Outdoor outlets should be on a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), which are required in newer homes in bathrooms, garages, outdoors, and near sinks. GFCIs can be added as a temporary plug-in adapter, added as a replacement outlet, or even installed as a circuit breaker. Check with your electrician for options.
    Keep television and radio antennas away from power lines. They should be far enough away to remain clear if they were blown over.
    Teach your kids never to fly kites near any power lines. Toys or other objects caught in electrical equipment should be left alone and the kids should find an adult to help. Balls or other objects tossed or falling into an electrical substation should be left there. Call Dominion or the utility involved to retrieve the item.
    Teach your kids to recognize "Danger" signs and not to climb in trees if power lines pass through or near them. They should also know that pad-mounted transformers (those metal cabinets on concrete pads) are not safe places to play.

    when oning or offing a swtich,be aware that your hands are not wet because water is also a good conductor of eletricity.when using a computer stay beside a adult always.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm so proud of you! All of you are able to advise on how to be safe when using electricity! Just a reminder, do be very careful when handling electricity! Do get an adult to help you and remember, water is a conductor too..so stay away from water when touching electric circuit!

    :) Enjoy!

    Electrical Safety is a safety topic that is imperative to all types of industries, such as; Construction, Customer Service, Driving, Food/Package Goods, General Service, Health Care, Home Safety, Hospitality, Industrial /Manufacturing, Municipalities, Office Safety, Pharmaceutical/Bio Science, Retail, School Bus, Truck Driving, Utilities and Warehousing

    Electrical hazards such as shock, electrocution and arc flash will always be a problem. Proper training and safety strategies can minimize the likelihood of electrical injuries and fatalities. These Outlines are designed to help protect employees from electrical accidents while working on, with, or near electrical equipment. Many different jobs must be performed in the workplace but as electricity cannot be seen “Always assume it’s live' is the watchword. Testing is the best way to recognize the presence of voltage but this fact is often lost during routine assignments. With electricity, make sure your employees have 'positive', not 'negative' attitudes!

    We should always stay away from powerlines.Keep fingers and other objects away!Especially your fingers and other objects are wet.Never pull a plug out by a cord.Keep electrical appliances like hair dryers and radios away from showers, sinks, and bathtubs.Remember that when you're wet, your body makes a good conductor for electricity.Never overload outletswith too many plugs.This could cause a short circuit and possibly a fire.You must not hang around wires/ downed wires when power lines are down.Look out for DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE signs.Keep kites and balloons FAR AWAY from power lines!As overhead
    power lines are not insulated.So...USE ELECTRICITY SAFELY!

    we shall not touch the switches with wet hands as we may get an electric shock......it's dangerous.If a person gets an electric shock,do not touch him or her with tour hands,or both of you will shaking there,haha.You must find some non-conductors of electricity and hold them,to let the electricity flow away......i think,but i dont know if it is correct or wrong~~
