Electricity Safety Week

This week, primary schools across NSW are participating in Electricity Safety Week 2020. Electricity is an important part of our daily lives, so it’s important that we all switch onto safety. #ElectricitySafetyWeek2020 [tag @Ausgrid]

Electricity equipment

Electricity substations and power equipment are all around us – they are behind fences, in buildings and near footpaths. Warning signs are displayed for your own protection, so please stay clear. #ElectricitySafetyWeek2020 [tag @Ausgrid]

Outdoors

A reminder for families to play in open spaces away from electricity poles, towers and powerlines. Make sure you look up before you climb or fly a kite #ElectricitySafetyWeek2020 [tag @Ausgrid]

Metal

Metal is a conductor of electricity. Never put metal objects in a toaster or power point. Electricity could travel up the metal object into your body #ElectricitySafetyWeek2020 [tag @Ausgrid] 

Dangerous situations

 Always be on the lookout for dangers in and around your home. This could be anything from a faulty electrical lead to a ‘stacked’ power point. If you need something fixed, call a licensed electrician. #ElectricitySafetyWeek2020 [tag @Ausgrid]

Emergencies

If your child sees a dangerous situation involving electricity – tell them to stay clear, tell an adult and call triple zero (000). #ElectricitySafetyWeek2020 [tag @Ausgrid]

If you see a fallen powerline, there is a strong chance it is still alive. Stay at least 8 metres away from a fallen powerline and anything it may be touching #ElectricitySafetyWeek2020 [tag @Ausgrid]

Water

Water and electricity don’t mix. Keep water away from electrical appliances and power cords  #ElectricitySafetyWeek2020 [tag @Ausgrid]
