Electrical accidents in rural Indonesia remain a significant concern due to limited safety awareness. This study evaluates a community-based electrical safety training program in Petumbukan Village. A pre-post intervention involving 45 residents assessed knowledge and behavioral changes through structured questionnaires. The training covered hazard identification, safe practices, emergency responses, and preventive maintenance. Results showed significant knowledge improvement from 32% to 87% post-training (p<0.001). Participants demonstrated enhanced ability to identify electrical hazards (68% increase), understand proper appliance usage (73% increase), and recognize emergency procedures (81% increase). Within two weeks, 78% of participants implemented household safety measures. The community-based approach effectively enhanced electrical safety awareness in rural settings. Findings suggest that participatory educational interventions can significantly reduce electrical accident risks in underserved areas, supporting the integration of such programs into local government safety initiatives for sustainability and broader impact.
