Which of the following is NOT a safety pointer from the electrical safety list?

• A. Keep away from water
• B. Unplug before servicing
• C. Wear rubber gloves
• D. Put nothing but plugs into sockets

Answer: (C)

Electrical safety aims to minimize shock by keeping electricity away from your body and preventing unexpected contact with live current.

Staying away from water is a fundamental precaution because water conducts electricity and can carry current into you. Unplugging before servicing removes any live current, so you won’t get shocked while you work. And only plugs should go into sockets to avoid forcing objects that aren’t designed for outlets, which can cause damage or sparks.

Wearing rubber gloves isn’t listed as a safety pointer in this particular safety list. While gloves can be protective in some electrical tasks, this list does not include them, perhaps because gloves can be damaged or give a false sense of safety if not used correctly. So, in the context of this list, wearing rubber gloves isn’t one of the pointers.
