Electrical Safety
Storyboard Text
- Never place liquids like water near electronics.
-
- You should never go under a tree during a lightning storm.
- You should always pull the plug from the rubber head.
- You should never pull the plug from the cord.
- If you place liquids like water near electronics, it can spill and you can get electrocuted by touching it. This happens because water is a conductor which means electricity can travel through it, which can cause you to get electrocuted. So when you spill water on your electronics and you touch it, you will get electrocuted, and your electronics can also get damaged.
- Avoid overloading outlets with too many appliances.
- If you go under a tree during a lightning storm, it can strike at you and you can get an electric shock. This happens because the lightning can strike the trees (since they are closer to the clouds) and then that strike can jump on to humans more easily since we are conductors so electricity can travel through us giving a electric shock.
- You should never stick your fingers or toys into outlets.
- Instead, you should place outlet covers on to your outlets to avoid getting electrocuted.
- You should always pull the plug from the rubber head and never the cord. This is because if you do pull the plug by it's cord, the wire can get damaged which can cause a fire or an electric shock. So you should never pull out the plug by it's cord, instead you should pull it out by the rubber head.
- When you plug too many appliances all in one outlet, then you are overloading the outlet which can cause an electrical accident. This is because the overload causes the circuit breaker to trip and cuts the electric flow to that whole circuit. This can cause a short circuit, the wall socket to overheat and a fire to occur, so it is important never to overload electrical outlets.
- When you stick your fingers, toys or anything else that is not a plug into an outlet, you can get electrocuted. This happens because when you stick an object that is not a plug into an outlet, it will cause the cables to damage, and this can cause you to get electrocuted and the outlet to catch on fire. To avoid this, you can place outlet covers on your outlets so you won't get electrocuted and the outlet won't catch on fire.
