Electrical Safety Tips To Avoid Electrical
Hazards At Your Home

We use several electrical devices and appliances
at our home which make our life more enjoyable in
so many ways, but it doesnt mean that it is free
from risks. Electricity can be very dangerous if
handled callously. Most of the electricity-related
accidents that occur in homes are due to lack of
knowledge on electrical safety. Here are some
tips to prevent electrical hazards at your home

1. Dont overload your outlets
Every electrical device has its own capacity to
carry certain amount of electricity, but many of
us plug several number of appliances at the same
time which become the reason of explosion or
fire. If you have a lot of appliances to plug in
simultaneously, use a power strip that can safely
accommodate your needs.

2. Main power off
If main power is switched on during any work on
the homes electrical system, it can be a major
reason for electrical shocks and accidents.
Always switch off main power before going for any
electrical maintenance activity.

3. Keep electrical appliances away from water
Water is a good conductor of electricity, so keep
all electrical appliances away from water such as
sinks, bathtubs, pools or overhead vents that may
drip.

4. Give your appliances proper space for air
circulation to avoid overheating
Without proper air circulation, electrical
appliances can overheat and short out, and can
become an electrical fire hazard at your home.
Make sure that all appliances have proper air
circulation, and avoid running appliances in
enclosed space.

5. Never attempt electrical repairs by own
Most of the people never call an electrician in
case of any electrical repairing at their home
and do repairing by own. It could be the reason
of dangerous electrical hazard at your home.
Always call licensed electrician for electrical
repairing works.

6. Fire Extinguisher
Always have a fire extinguisher at your home.
Water is a good conductor of electricity and
hence should never be used to put out any
electric fire.

7. Place dangerous appliances out of reach of
small children
Toddlers and small children are very curious and
they love to explore everything. Parents should
put tamper resistant safety caps on all unused
electrical outlets. In addition, all electrical
appliances should be keep away from children
until they are old enough to operate them
properly and understand electrical safety at home.

At last but not the least, dont risk you and
your family safety by waiting for something to go
wrong. If any electrical failure occurs at your
home, immediately speak with a licenced
electrician. You should also schedule electrical
home inspection for safety of your home.
