One of the priorities of IDGC of Centre — Bryanskenergo division is to prevent cases of electric injuries of third parties, including children, at electric grid facilities in the Bryansk region.
The branch developed a package of measures aimed at preventing electric injuries. Particular attention is given to preventative work carried out with kids.
Throughout the year, employees of Bryanskenergo conduct lessons on electrical safety in schools of the city of Bryansk, as well as in educational institutions that are in the service area of Districts of Electrical Networks of the branch. Employees of Bryanskenergo, life safety teachers, and class masters, preparing for the lessons on electrical safety, use notes and handouts.
Lessons on electrical safety are held not only in schools but also in kindergartens. The next lesson was in kindergarten # 138 named “Little Song” in the city of Bryansk. Talking to children about what the electric current is, pre-school teachers based on synopsis of the lesson, developed by the staff of Bryanskenergo. In order for children to grasp the rules of behaviour near power facilities and rules of safe handling household electric appliances, the kindergarten staff used colourful posters on electric safety, playing with the children in the table games “Teach the characters of Russian fairy tales to use electricity”. The children in the kindergarten were also handed out colouring books.
According to Head of production control and safety Office of IDGC of Centre — Bryanskenergo division Pavel Zlobin, studies on electrical safety in schools and kindergartens of the city of Bryansk and the region are necessary to conduct. At the children learn about safety rules to be observed, while near power facilities, or using electrical appliances. Knowledge of and compliance with these rules will help prevent accidents.
