KANGAR, June 25 (Bernama) -- Students made up 23 per cent of those involved
in electrical accidents between 2005 and last year, said Tenaga Nasional Berhad
(TNB) vice-president (distribution) Datuk Rozimi Remeli.
Based on statistics from the Energy Commission, he said the students were
linked to 405 electrical accident.
He was speaking to reporters at the Perlis state-level seminar on awareness
of electrical safety at Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Salang near here.
About 300 students and teachers from 74 schools throughout Perlis took
part in the seminar with talks, exhibition and quiz to test their understanding
on electrical safety.
Beginning this year, Rosimi said, TNB had begun giving special focus to the
student group for a safety campaign, including becoming seminar participants.
"We regard the student group as long-term investment on electrical safety as
they are still young," he added.
Previously, when the seminar was introduced in 2007, a total of 6,588
teachers from 1,481 schools nationwide had taken part.
