Electrician

What they do

An electrician mends wires, fits switches and gets the fan turning again. They switch off the mains first, because electricity is dangerous.

Only a grown-up who has been trained should ever touch a wire.

Where they work: In homes, shops and buildings.

Let’s pretend

Walk around the house and point at every switch. Say what each one turns on, without touching any of them.
