energy safety tips

Electricity and gas are efficient, reliable sources of energy but they need to be treated with respect.

When having fun don't forget to look out for powerlines. There are lots of times that you might be near powerlines like when flying a kite or model plane, climbing trees or throwing balls.

If one of your toys ever gets caught in a powerline, LEAVE IT ALONE! Talk to your parents and contact your electricity distributor, like Country Energy, to get it down.

Also, don't ever plug in too many appliances at the one outlet and never use appliances or touch a power point with wet hands.
