- Electric switches and sockets should be fitted at a height at which small children cannot reach and put pins or nails inside. Plug wires should not be pulled while removing a plug from its socket.
- Before cleaning an electrical appliance it should be switched off and its plug removed from the socket.
- One’s hands should be dry while handling an electrical appliance, and, as far as possible, one should use footwear with rubber soles.
- As rubber is an insulator, it prevents the current from flowing through our body, thereby protecting it.
- If a person gets an electric shock, you should not touch that person. You should switch off the main switch or remove the plug from the socket if possible.
- 1f not, then you should use a wooden pole to push the person away from the electric wire.
