NSW kids learn about electricity safety

Ausgrid staff will visit primary schools across NSW to teach kids about electricity safety as part of Electricity Safety Week.

More than 800 primary schools have registered for this year’s event.

Ausgrid’s Chief Customer Officer, Rob Amphlett Lewis, said school children will have the opportunity to learn about electrical hazards.

“After two years of virtual learning, we’re really excited to be back in schools teaching kids about electricity safety. A team of volunteers from across Ausgrid will talk to students about dangerous hazards such as fallen powerlines and overloaded power points, and what they should do if they see an electrical hazard,” he said.

Electricity Safety Week 2022 runs from 5-9 September 2022 across primary schools in the Ausgrid network.
