The use of electricity in daily life must be wise, we often get electricity bills that swell due to its uncontrolled use. In the end, with all the conveniences provided by electricity, we must use it wisely, so that problems and disasters do not occur in the future.

This article will discuss a few electrical safety tips for children in simple steps and using quality, official and certified products.

Every child must have curiosity and explore everything they see, touch, taste and feel what is around them. Supervision of children should begin to be increased if they have touched the age of 1-6 years. If parents start to be careless about this situation, it is feared that the child will reach for foreign objects that can harm him, without the knowledge of their parents. In fact, many children must receive hospital treatment and be treated.

Many of the accidents that occur to children are the dangers of electrical installations, electrical outlets that are not safe for children. Parents may be busy having to get their work done using multiple power connections for laptops and smartphones. A little attention to wiring management and preparedness will go a long way in protecting your children, your home, and yourself from the electrical system. Since May is Electrical Safety Month, now is the perfect time to properly protect your home from electrical hazards.

Pay attention to the electrical installation paths in your home, both on the floor and walls. Keep electrical outlets within reach of infants and small children, without having to dismantle electrical installations and without reducing family productivity. Cover or cover sockets near the floor or cover them with furniture, cabinets and ornate tables. If you are forced to dismantle the electrical installation, you can hire an electrician to move it higher, even though it costs a little more, but for the safety and comfort of your family.

It's important to remember that you have a power outlet for more than just your wall and floor electrical outlets. Any power strips and power strips are a potential hazard to young children exploring.

Pay attention to the electrical installation distance

It's actually best to avoid using extension cords when you have small children, and use them only for very urgent situations and really need them, although they must always be under parental supervision. Extension cords are intended for temporary use only. If you use an extension cord, make sure it is certified by an independent testing laboratory, such as the Underwriters Laboratory (UL), Indonesian National Standard (SNI) or so on.

 As previously mentioned, children over the age of one can easily remove the plastic outlet covers from individual sockets. So instead of using outlet covers on power strips and surge protectors, consider using tamper-resistant socket covers. This cover completely blocks power strips and all attached power cords from access to electricity. Make sure your electrical devices, such as sockets, extension cords and socket covers/protectors are of the best quality, official, and guaranteed.
