A safe home environment is not always enough to
control all potential electrical hazards. You must be very
cautious and work safely at home especially when you are dealing with
home appliances. In line with this here are safety rules to help you prevent any electrical accident in your home.
Check each extension cord before use
Ensure that the extension is completely free from cracks, tears,
or abrasion and that power extension cables haven't been knotted, which can cause
conductor damage and increase the risk of shock or fire.
Keep extension cords in a safe place
The force of you stepping on your extension cords can cause the
conductor to break, a problem that can lead to electrical fires. Because it
occurs in the core of the cable, conductor damage isn't always obvious to the
eye, so play it safe from the start by guarding the cords with heavy-duty
cord covers.
Ensure that all electrical components stay dry
It's one of the key rules of electrical safety: don't mix electricity
and water. Store power tools and cables above water level when not in use and
never use electrically powered tools in a wet environment.
Never modify electrical plugs
When using any home appliances, under no circumstances should
you modify an electrical plug so that it will fit into a socket - doing so only
increases the likelihood of shock, electrocution, and fire.
Use the right extension cord for the job
Before you plug in, make sure that the wattage rating of the
extension cord you're using is greater than the power requirement of the
equipment it's powering. Using an extension cord to supply more
wattage than it's rated for can cause conductor strain, overheating, and
possibly even fire.
