What is protect the humans from getting electric shock?
Keep all electric appliances away from places where there is water, such as a sink, toilet, or bathtub. Do not handle extension cords or electric appliances and do not plug anything into an electrical outlet while you are wet or if the appliance is on a wet surface.
