Staff of Bryanskenergo, life safety teachers and class masters, preparing to conduct classes on electrical safety, use notes and handouts as well.
Electrical safety lessons are held not only in schools, but also in kindergartens. Another lesson took place in kindergarten # 138 “Little Song” of the city of Bryansk. Talking to children about what the electric current was the preschool teachers relied on abstract of the lesson, developed by employees of Bryanskenergo. To make the kids better learn the rules of behavior in the vicinity of power facilities and rules for safe handling of electrical appliances, nursery workers used colourful posters on electrical safety, and played with children in the table games “Teach the characters of Russian fairy tales to use electricity”. The kindergarten teachers were also handed out colouring books.
