MOESK Specialists Have Told Noginsk Pupils about Electrical Safety

Within the framework of the action of MOESK "Good electricity - to children", the employees of the occupational safety department of the Eastern electric grids (EEG) have carried out electrical safety lessons in summer school camps of Noginsk.

Special attention was paid to the rules of use of electricity during the period when children are left at home alone. For the summer vacation time, this situation is particularly relevant. Children together with EEG experts examined cases of possible electrical hazards when handling household electrical appliances, when being in the vicinity to energy facilities in the street, in the field, near water bodies. To avoid accidents during recreation, it is important to remind children about these rules now, when the long summer vacation has already come.

The children were explained the meaning of special signs indicating danger, it was demonstrated to them how one should move when got into a zone of step voltage that occurs on a land plot with broken wires. First-graders and second-graders learned that the rod and smoke from the fire are also the conductor of electric current, and one can get electric shock without even touching the wires.

The story on rules of electricity use was supported by EEG experts with the help of cartoons and documentaries, which clearly demonstrate behavior in a danger zone, as well as errors that may lead to serious consequences of burns, cardiac arrest or respiratory arrest.

The training issues were completed with questions for consol8idating the material.
