This boy get an electrical shock in his arm. It left a pattern of scarring called a 'Lichtenberg Figure'.

Electrical Safety is make sure you don't get hurt by electricity.

An electrical shock can kill you.

Electricity can cause fires if it is not used safely.


Never use or touch an appliance if you can see the metal in the wire.	Never put anything other than a plug into an electrical socket, especially not metal.	Never touch an appliance with a metal object.

Do not get an electrical appliance wet.	Never put too many plugs in one socket.	Always make sure the socket is switched off before you plug or unplug any electrical appliance.


Always have a way to switch the electricity off in case something goes wrong.	Don't get your wires tangled or you might not know which wire you're adding or where.

Never plug a cell back into itself. It will 'short circuit' and can get so hot it causes a fire.	Report any strange smell to an adult straight away. When electrical components get too hot you can smell something has gone wrong.
