Shock Proof Electrical Safety Education Kit for Schools.
 Each day, we use electricity to enhance our lifestyles. We use it for cooking, cleaning, heating and lighting our homes, as well as running industry, which manufactures goods for domestic use and export to other countries.
Electricity is clean, quiet and invisible. The fact that electricity is invisible means we often take it for granted and its inherent dangers are not always apparent.
Every year in Australia, electricity kills and seriously injures a considerable number of people. Most of these injuries occur through a lack of knowledge and understanding about electricity and its dangers.
The Shock Proof Electrical Safety Education Kit for Schools has been designed for use as a classroom resource primarily for high school teachers. However, it can just as easily be used by primary school teachers to reinforce the Shock Proof electrical safety presentations provided FREE by Western Power’s World of Energy.
Specifically written for Western Australian schools, the Kit is intended to be used to raise students’ awareness of electrical hazards and to assist them in understanding the following:
- How to use electricity safely in the home.
- The dangers associated with power lines and sub stations.
- The effects of electrocution on the body; and,
- Strategies for avoiding and dealing with electrical accidents.
As shown in the Shock Proof safety concepts diagram on page 7, the Kit is divided into three main sections. These are:
- Part A: Using Electricity Safely in the Home.
- Part B: Out and About.
- Part C: Electrical Accidents.
Each part contains the following:
- Teachers’ notes introducing each main section. These provide information on the section and suggested activities.
- Overheads to emphasise main messages in each sub-section.
- Activity sheets and assignments to consolidate safety messages for each sub-section.
- A test covering knowledge content.
