Safety measures when operating electrical equipment must be emphasized to prevent accidents.
The safety measures that need to be taken are:

Avoid repairing electrical equipment when a switch is still on
Keep hands dry when touching the switch
The switch on the socket must be turned off before unplugging it from the socket
Damaged wires need to be replaced with new wires
Make sure electrical equipment is monitored while using it.
Connect only one plug to one socket.
Avoid leaving the iron on the clothes for a while.
Avoid playing kites near electrical cables.

Electricity makes our daily lives easier and more comfortable
However, unwise use of electrical equipment will lead to high consumption of electricity which in turn increases the cost of electricity
Prudent use of electricity can reduce our monthly electricity bills

Turn off the light during sleep
Do not leave electrical appliances switch on when not in use
