1.1 Introduction to Electrical Safety Electricity is a useful and powerful tool in
our daily life. Give examples of things that work on
electricity.as lamps, TVs, computers, mobile phones
and DVD players.

1.2 Home Safety
DON’T pull on the cable to remove a plug from the socket. This can damage the insulation and cause an electric shock or an electrical fire.

1.2 Home Safety
Never allow children to play with outlets. Inserting conductors in an electrical outlet is dangerous and can cause shock, which can
kill a person.

1.4 Labs and workshop safety Before you can use equipment and
machines or attempt practical work in a workshop or a lab, you must understand basic safety rules.
These rules will help keeping you and others safe in the workshop.
Following safety rules will also prevent you and others from accidents, injuries as well as death.
To avoid accidents and injuries in the workshops and labs, follow the next safety rules and practices:
