Who is the Electrical Safety poster for?

Electrical Safety belongs to the Practical skills section rather than to a school year, because life skills is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning safety can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Electrical Safety poster?

Isolate at the consumer unit and test that it is dead. Switching off at the socket is not isolation. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Electrical Safety belongs on the wall where that life skills work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
