How to avoid accidents when using electrical appliances
Many of the accidents that happen at home, with children, are caused by electrical devices. We should teach them about the disasters that electrical appliances can cause. One of the most important tips is not to touch electrical appliances with wet hands or to be barefoot on a damp floor. Children, mainly in the first years of life, are curious about everything that is around them. They do not know how to recognize dangerous electrical appliances and electrical installations.
Avoiding injuries with children
1) Educate about proper uses: It is essential to teach children not to touch an electric appliance with wet hands. Inform children that only an adult can manipulate an electrical plug.
2) Repair and replace damaged appliances: Some electrical appliances produce electric shocks or overheat due to a lot of use or some defect. Be alert, and when this happens, repair or replace them.
3) Use covered outlets: For plastic outlets, it is better to use plastic caps. Another option is to put the outlets out of reach of children about 35 inches off the ground.
4) Check cables and installations: Avoid having any electrical wires hanging or left open. Any electrical cord that runs through the house must be adequately insulated and well channeled.
5) Ask for specialist’s advice: Make sure to maintain the electrical installations correctly and that they work well. The 
most useful thing is to consult an electrical technician, especially when making any revisions.
The most important thing is to prevent any accident, and also educate and teach children about the dangers of electrical appliances and electrical installations.
