10 Rules of electrical safety - grade 5 None of the images used are mine. All taken from gouge searches.

1. Electrical Safety

2. Questions
 How do utility workers repair power lines without
getting hurt?
Utility workers, or line mechanics, wear special gear and
use special equipment to stay safe around energized
power lines.

3.  Why don’t birds get shocked when they sit on
power lines?
Birds don't get electrocuted when they land on a power
line because they are only touching one of the wires. If
they were to touch two (or more) of the wires at the same
time they WOULD get electrocuted.

4.  Why shouldn’t we play near substations?
If there’s a substation in your neighborhood, it’s
important to steer clear. There’s a lot of high-voltage
electricity inside – and you don't even have to touch
anything inside to get hurt.

5.  What should I do if a ball or toy gets inside a
substation?
If you accidentally throw a ball or toy over a substation
fence, never ever try to climb the fence to get it yourself.
Ask a grown-up to call the electric company, and we'll be
happy to get it for you.

6.  How do I know if electrical equipment is
dangerous?
 To play it safe, make sure you know what the warning
signs mean. "DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE" means
there's dangerous electricity inside.
 You might see a sign with a character called Mr. Ouch
- when you see Mr. Ouch, it means stay away.

7. Top 10 Electric Safety
Rules
1. DON'T plug a bunch of stuff into one outlet or
extension cord.
It could damage the electrical system in your house or
even cause a fire.

8. 2. DO ask grown-ups to put safety caps on all unused
electrical outlets.
Covering outlets will also help save energy by stopping
cold drafts.

9. 3. DON'T yank an electrical cord from the wall.
Pulling on a cord can damage the appliance, the plug or
the outlet.

10. 4. DO make sure all electric cords are tucked away,
neat and tidy.
Pets might chew on electrical cords, and people might trip
and fall.

11. 5. DO ask a grown-up for help when you need to use
something that uses electricity.

12. 6. DO look up and look out for power lines before you
climb a tree.
The electricity can go right through the tree branch - and
right through you!

13. 7. DON'T ever climb the fence around an electrical
substation.
If a ball or pet gets inside the fence, ask a grown-up to
call the electric company - they'll come and get it out for
you.

14. 8. DO remind your mom or dad to watch out for power
lines when they're using a ladder, chainsaw or other
outdoor equipment.

15. 9. DO keep electrical stuff far away from water.
Most electrical accidents around the house happen when
people use electricity near water.

16. 10. DON'T fly a kite near power lines.
The kite and the string may conduct electricity - sending it
right through you to the ground.
