As we all know electricity is an extremely dangerous energy supply, but also one of the most important for every day life. When you have children, you need to take precautions, as they can be exposed to all kinds of hazards. Here’s a few steps to help you ensure safety.

When adding socket covers, bear in mind that you shouldn’t rely on these to prevent electric shock, without checking that the installation is/is not safe.

Avoid leaving an unconnected cord plugged in and switched on, as young children may be tempted to put the cord inside their mouths.

After your child has a wash, make sure that they’re dried thoroughly before they touch any electricals.
