Electrical safety do’s and don’ts

Electrical safety do’s and don’ts

When it comes to electrical safety, take time to understand important do’s and don’ts! May is Electrical Safety Month, which promotes awareness of electrical safety and the importance of taking proper precautions when dealing with electricity.

Take a few moments to examine your home for any potential fire hazards with these tips:

  • Electrical outlets should never be overloaded. Be sure ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are installed in bathrooms, kitchens and other areas where a water source is present.
  • Conduct regular tests to ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are working properly. Every year, more than 358,000 home fires occur in the U.S. It only takes a second and could save a life.
  • Check your electrical cords. Even the slightest bit of fraying creates a safety risk. Remember: Extension cords should only be used temporarily.
  • Avoid water around electric appliances. Keep electrical cords away from sinks, bathtubs and pools. If a device gets wet, unplug it, and let it dry completely before using it again.
  • Teach children about electrical safety by telling them not to stick objects into outlets and never to touch electronics with wet hands.

Electrical safety is crucial for every household every day to prevent accidents, fires and injuries. Find more safety tips at safeelectricity.org.
