Safety: Electricity
Electricity can also cause accidents, injuries & fires!
Tips to stay safe at home & office from electrical emergencies:
- Check cords & plugs regularly. Replace damaged cords immediately & make sure plugs are tightly inserted into the outlet to avoid sparks.
- Avoid overloading outlets. Do not plug too many devices into one outlet. Use extension cords with surge protectors & follow their wattage ratings.
- Never use electrical devices near water or with wet hands. Install circuit breaker outlets in bathrooms, kitchens & outdoor areas.
- Use electrical devices safely & follow the manufacturer's instructions for all electrical devices. Unplug appliances when not in use, including toasters & hair dryers.
- Check for Warning Signs. Flickering lights, frequent circuit breakers, or a burning smell indicate a potential problem. Call a Licensed Electrician to investigate.
- Make your home & office safe for everyone, including children. Use outlet covers & keep cords out of reach of children. Teach yourself, others & children not to play with electrical devices & sockets.
- Keep flammable materials, such as curtains & furniture, away from heaters, lamps & other heat-producing devices
- For repairs & installations, always use a Qualified Electrician
