Primorsky Krai schools teach kids life-saving electrical safety skills

Power engineers turn classrooms into safety hubs with live demos and 'goose step' drills. Could this program slash child electrocutions?

Primorsky Krai schools teach kids life-saving electrical safety skills

Primorsky Electric Networks has been running electrical safety classes for students across Primorsky Krai since early 2026. The initiative aims to teach children and teenagers how to avoid electrical hazards. Over 2,300 pupils in schools and boarding schools have already taken part in these sessions. The programme has delivered around 70 lessons so far, with more than 40 held this year alone. Energy specialists visit classrooms to explain the risks of electricity and demonstrate safe behaviour near power lines. Students learn about step voltage and practice escaping danger zones using the 'goose step' method.

During the sessions, experts also show personal protective gear used by power engineers. They teach first aid for electric shock victims and explain what to do if a fallen wire is spotted. The branch extends its outreach by holding informational meetings at parent-teacher conferences, reinforcing safety precautions at home.

To make the lessons more engaging, the company organises tours of energy facilities. After each class, students receive small gifts to help them remember the key safety rules. The classes focus on preventing electrical injuries among young people. By combining practical demonstrations, facility visits, and take-home reminders, the programme ensures students retain life-saving knowledge. The initiative continues to expand, reaching more schools across the region.
