The increasing use of electrical and electronic devices in students’ daily lives highlights the importance of introducing electrical safety awareness at the high school level. Improper use of electrical installations, such as overloading electrical outlets and using inappropriate components, may increase the risk of short circuits, electric shocks, and fires. Therefore, practical education on safe electrical installation is important to equip students with basic electrical safety knowledge and awareness. The electrical workshop aimed to introduce basic science and technology concepts through a practical workshop on electrical installation safety for students of SMA Yos Sudarso Cilacap. The workshop consisted of theoretical explanations, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and safety simulations covering basic electrical installation principles, component selection, safe assembly, and testing. A total of 35 students participated in the activity. Among the 35 students who completed the questionnaire, 60% reported that they had not previously been familiar with the material, while 91.4% perceived the workshop as beneficial. Observations during the practical session indicated active student participation in assembling simple electrical circuits and applying safety procedures. The activity provided students with practical knowledge and strengthened their awareness of safe electrical installation practices.
