1. Top 10 Rules for
Electric Safety

2. 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.

3. 2. Make sure all electric cords are
tucked away, neat and tidy


Pets might chew
on electrical cords,
and people might
trip and fall.

4. 3. 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.

5. 4. DON'T yank an electrical cord
from the wall.

Pulling on a cord can
damage the appliance,
the plug or the outlet.

6. 5. Fly your kite far away from power
lines or substations.



The kite and the string
may conduct electricity-
sending it right through
you to the ground.

7. 6. Ask a grown-up or an electrician
for help when you need to use
something that uses electricity.

8. 7. 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!

9. 8. Have a grown-up put safety caps
on all unused electrical outlets.


Covering outlets will
also help save energy
by stopping cold drafts.

10. 9. Remind your
mom or dad
to watch out for
power lines when
they're using a
ladder, chainsaw
or other outdoor
equipment.
