In September this year, Typhoon Haikui ravaged and affected Guangzhou's power supply facilities. The staff of the Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau quickly dispatched and took emergency measures to repair the power to ensure the normal life of the citizens. At the same time, in order to improve the public's awareness of safe electricity use, the Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau also released 5.1 million pieces of "warm tips for safe electricity use" through various channels.
Here, I will extract some information and share the knowledge about household electricity safety, hoping to help parents and children improve their safety awareness and self-protection ability.
Household electricity is an indispensable part of our daily life, but at the same time, there are many potential safety hazards of electricity. Especially for children, when they use electrical equipment, due to the lack of sufficient safety awareness and self-protection ability, it is often easy to ignore some basic electrical safety knowledge, which leads to safety accidents.
Therefore, parents should carefully study and master some household electricity safety knowledge, and educate and guide children to use electrical equipment correctly to ensure their safety.
1.Protect against electric shock
Children are prone to electric shock accidents in the electrical equipment they come into contact with in the home, such as electrical plugs, power sockets, electrical switches, etc. Therefore, when using these electrical devices, avoid direct contact with exposed wires or metal sheets.
In particular, do not play with power plugs, touch electrical appliances with wet hands, and other behaviors that can easily lead to electric shock accidents. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid the use of broken electrical equipment and overloaded electricity, as these actions can easily cause electric shock accidents.
In daily life, parents should educate children not to touch electrical equipment at will, especially not to plug and unplug power plugs at will, so as to prevent electric shock accidents.
2.Prevent fires
When children use electrical equipment at home, it is easy to cause disasters due to misoperation or improper use. Therefore, parents should educate their children on how to use electrical equipment correctly, such as not touching electrical appliances with wet hands, not using too much force when inserting plugs into electrical outlets, and not turning on electrical appliances such as electric heaters for a long time.
Parents should also guide children to stay calm in the event of a fire, try to choose exits made of non-flammable materials, and do not take elevators when escaping. In daily life, parents should educate children not to touch electrical equipment in flammable areas such as kitchens to prevent fires.
3.Prevent leakage
When children use electrical equipment at home, they also need to pay attention to prevent electricity leakage. Parents should educate their children on the proper use of electrical equipment, such as not using electrical equipment on wet ground, not using plugs without grounding wires, etc.
At the same time, parents should also regularly check electrical equipment and power supply lines to find and repair potential leakage hazards in time. In daily life, parents should educate children not to touch electrical equipment under the faucet to prevent the occurrence of leakage accidents.
4.Prevent accidental ingestion of light bulbs
Light bulbs are one of the common toys for children, but some light bulbs may contain toxic substances, such as mercury. Therefore, parents should educate their children not to eat light bulbs as food and not to put them in their mouths or nostrils. In daily life, parents should educate children not to play with light bulbs as toys to prevent accidents of poisoning caused by accidentally eating light bulbs.
By learning these household electricity safety knowledge, children can better understand how to use electrical equipment correctly and avoid electrical safety accidents due to ignorance or curiosity. In life, parents should strengthen the education and management of children's electricity safety, so that children can develop good electricity habits from an early age and ensure the safety of household electricity.
