MEET THE DAD BEHIND SPARKY
Marc Jafari
Owner & CEO · One & Done Electric Inc.
Marc Jafari brings more than 19 years of electrical-industry experience across residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. But this guide comes from another role that matters just as much: being the father of a 4 1/2-year-old daughter.
Marc created Sparky's Electrical Safety Adventure to give children simple, memorable safety habits without teaching them to handle electrical equipment. The message is the same one he wants his own daughter to remember: notice the warning, step back, and tell a trusted adult.
A FATHER'S SAFETY MESSAGEChildren notice. Children step back. Children tell. Licensed electricians inspect and repair electrical systems.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY FOR KIDS
Simple rules children can remember.
Electrical safety starts with recognition—not hands-on inspection. This free family resource teaches children to notice warning signs, stay away from electrical hazards, and get help from a trusted adult.
Look
Notice buzzing, sparks, heat, water, damaged cords, open panels, or fallen lines.
Step back
Do not touch, test, move, unplug, reset, or investigate the hazard.
Tell
Tell a parent, caregiver, teacher, or emergency responder right away.
PARENT FAQ
What should a child do after noticing an electrical hazard?
Use the three safety powers: look without touching, step back, and tell a trusted adult. Children should never test, move, plug in, unplug, reset, open, or repair electrical equipment.
What ages is this electrical safety guide designed for?
The interactive check and activity book are written for children ages 5 to 9 to use with a parent, caregiver, or teacher.
Is the electrical safety coloring book free?
Yes. Sparky's Electrical Safety Adventure is a free 34-page printable PDF with coloring scenes, right-or-risky questions, games, a supervised craft, a safety pledge, and a Junior Safety Hero certificate.
Should children plug in or unplug chargers and appliances?
Children should ask a responsible adult first. Adults should inspect the cord and plug, keep hands dry, and hold the plug—not pull the cord.
When should a family call 911 instead of an electrician?
Call 911 for smoke, fire, arcing, a downed power line, or immediate danger. Move everyone to safety first and never use water on energized electrical equipment.
