The last thing that we want to do is to hurt a child, and that means we should teach them electrical, and other safety for 
the times when we may not be there These are some thoughts that an Electrician in London, or elsewhere for that matter should include in an electrical safety talk if invited to give one down at a local school.
o Do not plug in more appliances than a socket design allows. There are two rules of thumb – not more than two appliances per outlet point, and remove one if the plug pins become warm. If you need to plug in more, Find an Electrician to sort this for you safely.
o Turn off appliances before unplugging them. Never, ever pull a plug out by the wire. If you do and the wire breaks, you could receive a shock
o On a similar basis, avoid touching the contact prongs when plugging or unplugging. Use the plug only as intended.
o 
Never, ever bring liquid within an arm’s reach of an electrical appliance. Water conducts electricity, and you could get shocked this way too.
o If a plug will not go into a socket, never force it. There is a problem somewhere, and you need an Electrician Quote to fix it.
o Only, ever, put a plug into an electric outlet. Treat an outlet with respect, or it may not respect your life.
While this may seem obvious to you, it may not be obvious to young enquiring minds. Find informal opportunities to teach lessons that should last a long lifetime. This information comes to you with compliments of Mr-Skill, for all our children’s safety sake, and your and my peace of mind as well.
