Electricity is very useful but at the same time dangerous for humans if they do not have the knowledge, understanding and skills about it. This training was carried out with the aim of providing knowledge about electrical hazards and skills in electrical installation for residents of RW 15, Ciwaruga Village, Parongpong District. With the materials and methods and approaches applied, the training can run smoothly and work well. This success is shown by the active participation and high enthusiasm of the participants during the training and the high level of absorption of the training materials delivered. This is reflected in the increase in knowledge and skills in terms of making good installations as indicated by the increase in the value of the final test results (posttest). In addition, this paper can also be used as a reference for parties who will carry out similar or other activities related to electrical installations. Keywords: Electrical hazard, installation modules, methods, approach systems. 1. INTRODUCTION Electricity is one source of energy that is needed by the community because it is easily converted into other forms of energy. However, it is not uncommon for electricity to be a source of disaster that can cause havoc for humans either due to shocks, fires, and explosions. The shock occurs due to the contact of members/parts of the human body with live parts of the installation and fires because of short circuits, overloads, leakage currents and arc-flash. To prevent unwanted things from electricity, understanding the dangers of electricity and its installation is very important, especially for electricity users themselves. Considering how important an understanding of electricity is, so it is necessary to provide understanding as well as skills for the community, especially in the RW 15 residents, Ciwaruga Village, Parongpong District, West Bandung Regency about electricity hazards and their mitigation as well as electrical installation skills.
