Safety for kids
Safety for kids
We use electricity all the time. It lets us turn things on - lights, TVs, fridges and ovens.
BUT, electricity is powerful and dangerous too – it can travel through people and give them a shock!
Important Safety Messages
- Stay away from power boxes, substations and electrical worksites.
- Never jump, sit, kick or poke anything inside a power box.
- Don’t throw things into power lines. If you see shoes on the power lines, do not try to get them down!

- Flying a kite into power lines can give you a shock. Make sure you always look up and check for power lines before flying a kite.
- Stay away from power lines that have fallen on the ground. You can still get a shock.
- Trees growing into power lines can give you a shock. Make sure you always look up and check for power lines before climbing a tree.
