Appliances
-Appliances are an integral part of every household, from a simple electric clock to the microwave oven to decorative holiday lights. These safety tips can help keep all appliances operating safely:
-Unplug unused appliances and stow cords safely out of reach of pets, young children or hazardous situations.
-Appliances that generate heat, such as clocks, televisions and computer monitors, should be given several inches of clearance all around for good air circulation and cooling. Do not drape clothes, toys or other items over warm appliances.
Cords
Every electrical appliance has a cord, and many homes use extension cords to increase the range of electrical outlets. These safety tips can help keep cords in good condition for safe operation.
-Check cords regularly for frays, cracks or kinks, including power tool cords, holiday lights and extension cords.
-Cords are not be jump ropes, clothes lines or leashes, and should never be used for anything other than their intended purpose.
-Do not staple or nail cords in position at any time; if the cord does not remain where desired, use tape or twist ties to secure it.
-Cords should not be placed beneath rugs where they can become a trip hazard or where frays will not be noticeable. Furthermore, covering a cord will prevent it from keeping as cool as possible.
Electrical Fire Safety Tips
When an electrical short or spark does happen, it is vital to understand what to do to prevent or put out an electrical fire to keep the damage and devastation from spreading.
-Call 911 or other appropriate emergency services immediately in case of electrical injury or fire.
-Never touch anyone who is being shocked; the shock can spread through body contact.
-Know where fuse boxes and circuit breakers are located as well as how to properly operate them.
-Never attempt electrical repairs or rewiring without proper certification and experience.
-Do not put water on an electrical fire; use a dry fire extinguisher or baking soda instead.
