Answer
Electricity is very useful to us. It has made our life comfortable, easy and luxurious. On the other hand, it is dangerous also. It may cause great mishappenings, injuries and sometimes even death. So we must adopt some safety measures and take precautions discussed below:
$1.$ Never touch electrical switches or gadgets when your body is wet.
$2.$ If you need to operate or repair any electrical appliances, wear rubber hand gloves and stand on a dry wooden or plastic base. $3.$ Never play with electric sockets or wires.
$4.$ In case of short circuit or a spark in a switch, put the main switch off immediately with the help of a plastic or wooden stick.
$5.$ In case of fire in electric wires, never use water to extinguish it. First switch off the mains, then use dry sand to extinguish the fire.
