Electrical Safety

Harnessing the power of electricity was arguably the most important technological breakthrough ever made. It sped up the world’s development, making the impossible, possible. Now electricity’s so normal, we often forget it’s even there, powering almost every aspect of our lives. But that also means we often forget just how dangerous a force it is.
