Staying safe around electricity on safety street!


Join BC Hydro and Science World for a livestream event on Safety Street and help us celebrate Electrical Safety Week (May 10-16). We’ll teach you how to be safe around electricity by exploring static electricity, step potential, touch potential and how electricity can jump through the air. 


Watch live and ask questions to the presenters on Science World's Facebook page on Thursday, May 13 at 1:00pm. Look for an archive of this session available a few days later on Science World's Youtube page.
