The document provides safety tips for working with electricity. It advises turning off the power source before attempting to fix electrical issues. Proper grounding is important to prevent electric shock, such as using three-prong plugs and ground fault circuit interrupters. Never assume the power is off and always check yourself. In emergencies of electric shock, call emergency services rather than treating the victim yourself.

20. Have basic
knowledge on what materials conduct

current to pass through it whereas current passes
easily through a human body due to amount of
sodium and water in the body.
There are some simple
electrical problems around your house that you

with wall panels is crucial for preventing
accidental contact with wires .
.
Ground fault circuit interrupter , is able to detect
imbalances in amount of electricity flowing
through an appliance and will cut off power .

22. avoid touching
bare wire that may be conducting a current .
utilize three –prong plugs whenever possible
.The third prong , which grounds the earth
should never be removed .
Never assume that someone else has turned
off the power source . Always check for yourself!
Store and use electric devices
away from water .
