Hazard Hamlet is the Connexus Energy electrical safety education program for children. It aims to help reduce electrical accidents, prevent injuries, and save lives.
Our interactive Hazard Hamlet presentation, geared toward students in preschool through sixth grade, provides information on the dos and don’ts of electrical safety. Students witness the power of electricity and learn about potential hazards associated with unsafe behavior around power lines and household circuitry.
Using the Hazard Hamlet interactive display, the presenter discusses scenarios with potential electrical dangers, including:
- Cutting down or climbing trees near power lines.
- Using ladders or working around power lines.
- Using electricity near water.
- Plugging appliances into electrical outlets.
Students who participate in our Hazard Hamlet program gain valuable electrical safety information that may save their lives. Each participant receives an activity book and pencil and has an opportunity to ask questions following the presentation. You can find more information here.
The Hazard Hamlet presentation takes approximately one hour and includes a 10-minute Louie the Lightning Bug video. For questions or to schedule a presentation for a group of 20 or more students, email us at safety.demo@connexusenergy.com.
