Significant Electrical Safety Tips

Each year we hear the cases of electrical shock and burns through short circuits in electrical appliances. Taking care of you and your family while managing electrical appliances is necessary. Here are some important electrical safety tips so that you need to know.

• Look after appliance cords

Keep electrical applications, their cords and any extension leads away from water. Make sure that the cords are in good condition – if they’re worn out then don’t use the appliance until it’s been repaired by a qualified electrician.

• Avoid piggy-back or ‘double adaptor’ connections

Overloading can occur if too many cords are connected to outlets designed for just one or two plugs. Use power boards with in-built safety devices to avoid a power outlet overload.

• Childproof your outlets

Use childproof plugs in electrical outlets to prevent children from poking small items into them.

• Get a licensed electrician to do your wiring

Call a qualified electrician even if it is a minor job of electrical wirings or repairs.

• Install safety switches

Always have safety switches installed at your meter box. As a common rule, electrical equipment should only be used when linked to a safety switch.

• Look out for water leaks

Water is a good conductor of electricity. If by chance water drips into the light or power circuits in your house, a fault may develop, which could result in a fire or someone undergoing electric shock. As soon as you notice a water leak, have it repaired by a qualified plumber.

• In The Event Of Electric Shocks

Shut off the power at the main switch and call a qualified electrician to investigate.

If you are going to help someone who’s receiving an electric shock, turn off the power at the main switch first. If the current can't be turned off, use a non-conducting object like rug, rubber doormat,broom or chair to push the person away from the source of the current.
