The State Government of Maharashtra celebrates ‘Electric Safety Week’ every year from 11th to 17th January. There is a tremendous increase in the inventions and use of electrical and electronic home appliances in day to day life for comfort and ease. Therefore, it becomes mandatory to ensure electric safety while using these appliances. It has been reiterated through several investigations of electrical accidents. It is found in most of the cases that people are very casual about handling electrical appliances which may invite severe accidents and causalities.
Keeping these aspects in mind, the Department of Electrical Engineering observed ‘Electric Safety Week’ by organizing ‘Electrical Safety Awareness Campaign’ across the schools and colleges of Ratnagiri city. The students gave a presentation on Electric Safety followed by a question-answer session in these institutes. The presentation shared information on various household electrical appliances, methods of use, precautions, and do’s and don’ts to ensure the safety of users. These trained students are expected to disseminate the information not only to their families but also to their social groups.
