Electrical Safety Practices
General Safety:
- Always treat electricity with respect.
- Never attempt electrical work unless you are qualified.
- Never touch live electrical components.
- Keep electrical equipment away from water and moisture.
- Never connect too many appliances to a single outlet.
Wiring and Installation:
- Use properly rated electrical wire and components.
- Ensure wiring is insulated and protected.
- Have electrical installations inspected by a qualified electrician.
- Use GFCIs (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters) in areas where water is present.
Appliance Safety:
- Unplug appliances when not in use.
- Check appliance cords for damage and replace if necessary.
- Never use appliances with frayed wires or broken plugs.
- Keep appliances away from flammable materials.
Outdoor Safety:
- Use outdoor electrical cords designed for that purpose.
- Keep electrical cords away from traffic areas and water.
- Never use electrical equipment in wet or rainy conditions.
Emergency Procedures:
- Electrical Shock: Turn off power at the source. Do not touch the victim directly. Use a non-conductive object to move them away from the source. Call for emergency medical help.
- Electrical Fire: Turn off power at the source and use a Class C fire extinguisher. Never use water to extinguish an electrical fire.
Other Safety Measures:
- Wear insulated gloves when working on electrical equipment.
- Use rubber mats or insulated shoes when working on wet or conductive surfaces.
- Never bypass safety devices, such as circuit breakers or fuses.
- Label electrical panels and circuits clearly for easy identification.
- Have electrical systems inspected and maintained regularly by a qualified electrician.
