Disease description:

A little boy in the neighboring village got an electric shock. When I heard about it, I was terrified. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. Since we also have children at home, and ours is especially playful and mischievous, I'm really worried. So I'd like to ask, how can we prevent electric shock accidents?

Preventing electric shock accidents primarily involves keeping children away from energized objects such as electrical outlets and light fixtures. In particular, portable electrical equipment requires regular inspection systems to identify faults or non-compliance with relevant regulations, and any issues found must be addressed promptly. When using various electrical devices, strict adherence to operational procedures is essential. Three-prong plugs must not be altered to two-prong plugs without authorization, and bare wire ends must not be inserted directly into sockets.
